Walk circumspectly.

"Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise."
Ephesians 5:15(WNT)

If you want to walk in favour always, you must walk with wisdom and learn to recognize the chain of authority wherever you are. If you are working somewhere, don't be rude to your boss. It doesn't matter if he is rude to you, you don't have to be rude to him. If you are still living at home with your parents or your guardian, learn to honour them always by treating them with courtesy and respect. Practising these simple things is wisdom.

The Bible says in Ephesians 6:1-9(AMP), "CHILDREN, OBEY your parents in the Lord [as His representatives], for this is just and right. Honor (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother--this is the first commandment with a promise--[Exod. 20:12.] That all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth. Fathers, do not irritate and provoke your children to anger [do not exasperate them to resentment], but rear them [tenderly] in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord. Servants (slaves), be obedient to those who are your physical masters, having respect for them and eager concern to please them, in singleness of motive and with all your heart, as [service] to Christ [Himself]-- Not in the way of eye-service [as if they were watching you] and only to please men, but as servants (slaves) of Christ, doing the will of God heartily and with your whole soul; Rendering service readily with goodwill, as to the Lord and not to men, Knowing that for whatever good anyone does, he will receive his reward from the Lord, whether he is slave or free. You masters, act on the same [principle] toward them and give up threatening and using violent and abusive words, knowing that He Who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no respect of persons (no partiality) with Him.".

Instruction.

Please pray the prayer in Colossians 1:9 for yourself today.
