Wk 25 Day 5
Proverbs 6:27-28
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
.. Only fools would not know what this means.
.. Only fools who does not care about the future will do this.
.. Only fools who know not the truth will get themselves into trouble.
As for those who know, fire is dangerous to play around with. What are the "fires" we play around with daily? Those who we know will entangle us back to sin or hold us into a seemingly inescapable situation? (Praise God, 1 Cor. 10:13)
:: Sometimes I forget about this. I sometimes hold myself back and play with little "fires". What are they? There are a few. I need to divert my thinking into other things instead of play with my mind with these little "fires" that I may getting myself into. I need to constantly rely on God's power to guide me through my life journey with Him not allowing the little things to creep in my mind that will make myself play around again. I am new in Christ, I need to put that on all the time!
Lord, thank you for your reminder... and rebuke! I pray that You will continually empower me to only think of the noble things you want me to think about and not things that will make me play with these "fires" that will cause me to return back to my old ways (big and small). Help me to move forward with complete focus on the goal that you have for my call. Use me and keep my thoughts pure and sanctified always. Please protect me and keep me away from the evil schemes. In Jesus' name, amen.
