My word for June 15th is PREWARN
As you are reading this I am going under the knife to have
some much needed surgery. I wasn’t
that nervous because I know that I will feel better after the procedure and I
am healed. However, after I went
to my pre-op visit, I have been scared to death. The doctor had to tell me all the, if this happens this
could happen. Oh my, makes you
ready for surgery. Before I left I
told my Doctor, “Since I am your
first surgery you be sure you have a good nights rest, I don’t want to be the
percentage that the bad happens to”.
I know that doctors have to tell you those accidental things
that could happen to protect them, but it is very scary. Wouldn’t it be nice though if when we
were old enough to comprehend and understand, God would have appeared and said,
“Now if you do this, this is going to happen. If you are friends with certain people this will happen, if
you go this way it will be the wrong way.” If we had been pre-warned of the adversities that may occur
in our lives, we may have traveled a different road or been prepared for them.
In a way God has pre-warned us for what lies ahead. It may not be spelled out in front of
us, but it is there. He gave
us His words of what to do and what not to do. We can read the stories of people in the Bible and see the
outcome they had when they crossed the wrong roads or when they didn’t follow
God’s word. While researching
“pre-warned by God” I read several things that were interesting. Most of the pre-warned topics were
about natural disasters and how these disasters would grow in frequency and
intensity as the end approached us.
God does pre-warn, we just may not listen or pay attention. When we are pre-warned it is to shake
us up and lead us to Him. He wants
us to live a peaceful life with Him.
When God takes the time to warn us, when he puts up the caution
tape and tell us to stay away, we need to listen. When God says proceed with
caution do just that. He knows
when danger is ahead.
Dear Lord thank you for your words of wisdom. We know that You pre-warn us in many
situations, but many times we don’t listen. Open our ears to hear you when you say proceed with caution. We want to stay away from the
unpleasant and the undesirable and stay close to You. During this year of 2012 keep us out of danger and pre-warn
us when we are crossing into the danger zone.
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
