Ephesians 5:15-17 says: "15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."

Thomas shares some encouragement from his study in Ephesians. In wicked times it is imperative that God's people live carefully in the wisdom that comes from above.
