Be Careful
For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools.
Romans 1:21-22
Our pastor shared this quote he saw somewhere which is an excellent reminder....
"Be careful what you grab and bring into your life, it may be grabbing you."
I've probably written the story before of being a young child at a beach in Florida. On the sea wall a man had a shell that was open and looked like a baked potato, but inside was the shiniest black shell you've ever seen. As I reached towards it the man grabbed my hand. Just as he did that living creature clamped its shell shut. The man explained it would have taken smashing the shell to get my fingers released and they may have even been broken from the impact.
There are so many things that look enticing in this world, but they are just waiting to grab us and bring destruction.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. John 10:10
So, what do we do with our knowledge? We pass it on! We tell His story! We pray! "Wanna be His hands and feet! Ready yourselves."
