Ephesians 5:15-21
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.

As children of light, we must walk carefully and observantly. This is spiritually practical wisdom in this present evil age set against God and His Anointed. Being wise requires us to comprehend God’s will, which principles and examples are set down in the scriptures for us to search out daily. We then can yield rightly to God and follow the lead of His Spirit living in us, praising Him together instead of drinking or otherwise wasting away the days. This brings us to a thankful heart that appreciates His grace and mercy as we submit not only to God in Christ, but also to each other. This life we walk then brings the first and second greatest commands to our walk and glory to God in the process.
