Walk circumspectly: (Ephesians 5:15)
As part of a challenging teaching on holy living, the apostle writes, “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:15–17, NKJV). To be circumspect is to be wary; the word comes from a Latin word literally meaning “look around.” “Walk circumspectly” is put in a way of urging Christians to look very carefully at how they live and behave.
And being acknowledged that we are living in evil, difficult times. Our fallen world is filled with dangers, deceptions, and temptations. If we aren’t cautious and attentive to what is happening around us and in us, we can easily be blindsided and fall headlong into any number of dangerous traps. Biblical wisdom teaches us to “make the most of every opportunity” (Colossians 4:5, NLT) and to walk (or behave) as true believers amid perilous times (2 Timothy 3:1–5).
In the original Greek, the phrase translated as “walk circumspectly” means “to watch or look carefully at how you live, to be vigilant and mindful of your behavior, to be on the lookout.” The apostle delivers a similar word of warning: “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8, NLT). With deliberate, vigilant determination, we must live rooted in God’s wisdom and an understanding of God’s will.
And used in the Hebrew concept “to walk” as a metaphor for behavior. The “Christian walk” refers to how we behave as believers. The will of the Lord is that we always live mindfully and judiciously so that our lifestyles line up with biblical teaching. And so, it was taught, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2, NLT).
If we are to walk circumspectly, we must discern the will of the Lord. And to know the way to gain the wisdom of God’s will... We start by knowing of this: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you” (James 1:5).
We also gain wisdom for godly living through reading God’s Word: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting (self) and training (self) in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16–17). As we meditate on Scripture (Psalm 119:15) and diligently study God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:15), it becomes a guiding, illuminating force to direct our footsteps (Psalm 119:105).
God’s Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). We must pay close attention to what the Lord has revealed in His Word because it is “a lamp shining in a dark place” (2 Peter 1:19), able to show us God’s will and teach us how to walk circumspectly in these evil days.
Unbelievers, and also self-claimed believers too often walk according to “the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. But that is not the way you learned Christ!” (Ephesians 4:17–20, ESV). Christians are to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).
Believers are enabled to live wisely and walk circumspectly by the empowering of the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 36:27). Paul told the Galatians to “walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). The Holy Spirit lives in us, teaching us and leading us into all truth (John 14:17, 26; 16:13).
God has a good plan for our lives (Romans 8:28). We are created to do good works and to walk in them: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10, ESV). God lovingly reveals His plan to us so that we are "bearing fruit filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:9–10, ESV).
Believers can walk circumspectly—carefully watching how we live—because “by his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence” (2 Peter 1:3, NLT). We don’t have to depend on our own strength. God’s Word provides the blueprint to follow, and His Holy Spirit fills us with the power to accomplish the Master Builder’s plan.
"And no better words have been found. And disturbing that of 'many' that appear pretentious in
all their going and coming."

~Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash. ~

"And God should not be mocked with foolishness."
"And vacant of spiritual enlightenment, so shall the 'Kingdom of God' be vacant."

'Bingo'...Believe I need God, Ok)
Actually.....humankind are segregated into two distinct groups. The seed of Abraham and the seed of the evil one.
Gen 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Mat 13:38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Rom 4:16
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Rom 9:8
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Fixed it for you.....
As anyone can see, fallen mans purposes are aligned to the culture of death that is the construct of the evil one.
The false shepherds (unsaved politicians and kings of the earth) are bound to steal, kill and destroy.
Jhn 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

shall be in knowing to apply what one may claim to know."

been spiritually motivated in such a positive way as to be useful
and supportive with lost souls and knowing spiritual wisdom being
derived only from personal experience from applying and acting upon
the wisdom of Christ teachings...no more...no less."
"And being worldly motivated shall be outside of God's intended spiritual
realm of things. Is not God's Kingdom to be of spiritual inspiration,
as 'worldly thinking' shall forever leave a spiritual vacancy."
"And obviously truth being hard to accept from those of selfish and
self-centered attitudes, they being of the unfortunates that have not
the mental fortitude to surrender and be willing to change."
"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace
but the triumph of principles."
