Deaf devo - The deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Tuesday, 27 June 2017 "F.A.T. People"
Bible Reading: Ephesians 5:15-20
Ephesians 5:15 Therefore, pay careful attention to how you conduct your life — live wisely, not unwisely. 16 Use your time well, for these are evil days. 17 So don’t be foolish, but try to understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 Don’t get drunk with wine, because it makes you lose control. Instead, keep on being filled with the Spirit — 19 sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to each other; sing to the Lord and make music in your heart to him; 20 always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

A preacher once told me that God uses F.A.T. people. The preacher wasn't talking about people who are overweight. He was talking about people who are faithful, available and teachable.
If our faith is small, we don't pay attention to what God says in His Word and then apply it to our lives. We need to be faithful and live for Him every day. If we are busy every day and focus on our cell phone and computer, we will not pray attention when God wants us to bless other people. We should be available to serve Him. When we think that we know everything, we are not willing to grow in Jesus. We need to be teachable and allow God to change us.
Paul reminds us in our Bible verses that we need to be careful how we live and do good to others. If you do what Paul says, you will be faithful, available and teachable.
"So don't be foolish with your lives, but learn what the Lord wants you to do. Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
[Ephesians 5:17, 20]
PRAYER: Lord, I need Your help so I can be wise and live for You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
