Redeeming the time, because the days are evil--Ephesians 5:16
The Living Bible has an even clearer explanation: So be careful how you act, these are difficult days. Don't be fools; be wise: make the most of every
opportunity you have for doing good.
If we allow our weapon (the bible) to become dusty, the devil will cause us to walk in doubt and unbelief using our ignorance of who we are in Christ, to trample over us. A good practice is to find scriptures which pertain to what we are going through, meditate on these in our hearts, and speak them aloud, so that we can hear them.
What we believe deep inside, comes out of our mouths and manifests as fruit (actions) in our lives. We can encourage others, pray with someone, and seek after the more abundant life that Jesus promised.
When these things become a part of who we are, we will see doors begin to open that may not have been there before. The power of God is working toward us ward, to immediately change us, but we have to effectively redeem the time!
God bless,
Pamyla
