warning signs
This past week I feel that God is giving warning signs to me in my personal time with Him. The passages I’ve read and the prayers that I’ve prayed have been constant red flashing lights warning me of what could happen or might happen if I make certain choices over others. It’s as if he’s whispering in my ear “brad – I love you and I want the best for you. I want you to flourish and grow but watch out for ________. If you don’t watch out for ___________ it will cause you to stumble and it will hinder your growth”.
He’s been teaching me about setting boundaries in my work, marriage, family relationships and time.
He’s been warning me about pride, self confidence vs. “God” confidence, possible consequences with bad decisions and the pitfalls that come with overlooking sin (*thanks to my devotions in 1 Samuel)
I tell my children to look both ways before crossing the street … God is doing the same for me right now.
It’s a good feeling that He thinks enough of me (and you) that he warns us whether we think we need it or not. I’m glad I’m listening.

Forgive me Brad… I’m questioning the statement “It’s a good feeling that He thinks enough of me (and you) that he warns us whether we think we need it or not.”
Are you equating God’s warnings to you in devotion as to a warning to “us all” or just yourself? If so, why does this warning come to us at MTC and for what purpose?
Just some light thoughts friend!
