Warning
Kayaking back into one of my favorite spots Thursday, I was startled by an incessant chirping/squawking noise. I didn't know if a bunch of squirrels were stirred up or if birds were balking at one another. Paddling closer, I spotted a black cat meandering beneath the trees and realized the brouhaha was being produced by birds warning one another of a pending attack.
This devotional thought came to me…Do we warn one another to be on the alert when we see them teetering towards temptation and danger? I floated around awhile and watched until that ole cat finally wandered off. He was definitely outnumbered and probably a bit unnerved by my presence.
I am writing this not to shame you, but to warn you as my dear children.
I Corinthians 4:14
To have a friend whom you know, trust and love, to the point of welcoming their warning, is a treasure.
