Reckless Decisions

Read: Numbers 20:1–12

Because you did not trust in me . . . , you will not bring this community into the land. Numbers 20:12

As a teen, I was driving way too fast trying to follow my friend to his home after a high school basketball practice. It was raining hard, and I was having a hard time keeping up with his car. Suddenly, my wipers cleared the watery windshield only to reveal my friend’s sedan stopped in front of me! I slammed on the brakes, slid off the street, and struck a large tree. My car was destroyed. Later I awoke in the comatose ward of a local hospital. While by God’s grace I survived, my reckless ways had proved to be very costly.

Moses made a reckless decision that cost him greatly. His poor choice, however, involved a lack of water—not too much of it (as in my case). The Israelites were without water in the Desert of Zin, and “the people gathered in opposition to Moses” (Numbers 20:2). God told the frazzled leader to speak to a rock and it would “pour out its water” (v. 8). Instead, he “struck the rock twice” (v. 11). God said, “Because you did not trust in me . . . , you will not [enter the promised land]” (v. 12).

When we make reckless decisions, we pay the consequences. “Desire without knowledge is not good—how much more will hasty feet miss the way!” (Proverbs 19:2). May we prayerfully, carefully seek God’s wisdom and guidance in the choices and decisions we make today. — 冯得恩

What regrettable decisions have you made based on impulse? Why is it vital to slow down and prayerfully seek God’s wisdom before reacting?

Jesus, please help me to follow Your wise instruction as Your Spirit leads me.

Howdy, PRO!

Guess what today was.

It looks strange out there now. It's been a while since we've been able to see the road from the house.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope your labors over the weekend paid off today, making things a little easier.

Thanks, lauren, for today's Road Trip: Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island.

[PROCON]

Wow, harvest time finally!

I forget, is it all for animal feed?

[luvie]

Howdy, Night Owls...and lauren!
Great road trip tonight.
I always forget about Rhode Island. LOL!
Anyhoooo....y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
(((hugs)))

[radu]

Yup, it’s finally gone. I do wish they’d picked a different day though. They showed up right before I needed to leave to run errands and I choked on the dust and corn “ick” as I left and came back. They just finished up a few minutes ago.

Ours goes for livestock feed. Tyson has a feed plant here, just a mile or so from the farm.

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

How did your day go?
Check out post #10 to see how ours went. Ugh!

[BlueLancer]

I was born at the base hospital on Quonset Point Naval Air Station, North Kingstown, Rhode Island, in 1954. My father was assigned to the USS Ticonderoga, CV-14.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

AAAAAAAAAH-CHOOOOOOOO! Just the thought of breathing that mess brings back horrible memories of my one experience with a corn harvest. NOT a good thing. Plus, your nice wall is gone.

Our day was great. A little warmer than I want, but it IS September in Texas. LOL!

[MoochPooch]

Evening, all!
