“Stick To His Path and Be Safe”
by Dona Hake
I can remember when our youngest Granddaughter fell and broke her front tooth. Oh the pain this poor thing was in. She liked to run as fast as her little legs could take her but sometimes it would get her into trouble! After that happened she began to heed the “slow down!!!” that I would yell at her when she would run on my sidewalk. I was glad when she finally slowed up and heeded to the voice of wisdom. A word of warning is only helpful to the degree it is heeded to.
Proverbs 4:26 (TLB)
“Watch your step. Stick to the path and be safe.”
“Watch your step. Stick to the path and be safe.”
Today, I want to share with you about those times that God calls out to us through His Word, His Spirit, or speaks through people in our lives. I know we can all relate to those times in which we feel we are being warned. We must always be careful to judge the warnings that come our way to make sure they are truly of Him, and not fear motivated. God’s Word clearly has accounts where men and women of God were admonished by the Lord.
Colossians 1:28 ( Amp.)
“Him we preach and proclaim, warning and admonishing everyone and instructing everyone in all wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed One).”
“Him we preach and proclaim, warning and admonishing everyone and instructing everyone in all wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed One).”
Today I encourage your heart to respect the voice of the Lord as He speaks to you through His Word, the inward witness, and those God given people that have been placed in your life. May we all continue to grow deeper in the comprehensive insight in His ways and purposes.
