Heeding the Warnings

Bible in a Year:

• Psalm 119:89–176
• 1 Corinthians 8

Whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.

Matthew 10:33

When a pickpocket tried to pilfer my property while I was on vacation in another country, it wasn’t a surprise. I’d read warnings about the danger of subway thieves, so I knew what to do to protect my wallet. But I never expected it to happen.

Fortunately, the young man who grabbed my wallet had slippery fingers, so it fell to the floor where I could retrieve it. But the incident reminded me that I should have heeded the warnings.

We don’t like to dwell on warnings because we think they’ll get in the way of enjoying life, but it’s imperative to pay attention to them. For instance, Jesus gave us a clear warning while sending out His disciples to proclaim God’s coming kingdom (Matthew 10:7). He said, “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven” (vv. 32–33).

We have a choice. In love, God provided a Savior and a plan for us to be in His presence for eternity. But if we turn away from God and choose to reject His message of salvation and the real life He offers for both now and forever, we lose out on the opportunity to be with Him.

May we trust in Jesus, the One who chose to save us from being eternally separated from the One who loves and made us.

Reflect & Pray

Why is rejecting Jesus such a serious thing? How have you chosen to respond to His call?

Heavenly Father, thank You for providing salvation through Jesus. And thank You for sending warnings to remind me of the importance of putting my faith in Him.

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...I thought you were “off” for the rest of the month.

Where are you headed this trip?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...been a rough day, but hump day has finally been conquered!

Your week going well? Enough rain yet?

[lightman]

Evenin’, Kathy....haven’t needed to water the plants all week. Probably should tomorrow unless a thunderstorm pops up.

The month is above average for rain already and one week to go!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Hump Day is here at last. Any sanity left intact?

[luvie]

God bless our troops!
They help people around the world
to stay safe and free.
We need to pray for them
as they continue to be in great danger
Thanks to Pudding-For-Brains' deadly policies.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hi Pro...any respite from the smoke?

We’ve been getting a little rain off and on today. So no watering of lawns yet. Hurrah!

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....Biggirl grabs the gold!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....Janey snags the silver!!

[PROCON]

Our smoke is better but still around in the mornings.

It's cooling off so that's welcome.
