Warning!

[ Daily Selah ]

Warning!


Warnings are everywhere.


On your mattress. On your pajamas.


On your appliances. On road signs.


Wherever you look there seems to be a warning.


Warnings are usually given with safety in mind.






God has also given us warnings.


Many times in Scripture, we are told of consequences for our actions.

Our decisions will result in either blessings or cursings.

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. -Deuteronomy 28:1-2 

But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee -Deuteronomy 28:15

God is holy. He has given us warnings of the consequences of our actions. 

I don't know about you, but I would definitely prefer to have blessings come upon me and overtake me than the alternative.

Obey and blessings will come upon you. Disobey and curses shall come upon you. 

Warning!



Father, thank You for giving us Your Word to teach us how to live. Help us to walk in obedience to you. We don't just want to be blessed; we want to bring you glory. Help us to live for You alone, according to Your Word. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
