“Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the
righteous and they will add to their learning.”
Proverbs 9:9
Drive near a playground and you just may see a traffic
sign like the one in the image shown here.
Of course the caution is to look out for those who may
not always be able to look out for themselves.
Caution is not the same as Danger.
Like the driver behind the wheel on the road next to
the playground you may drive by the children enjoying the slide, jungle gym or
swing sets a hundred times with no problem.
But the risk is always present that one of the
children, perhaps chasing an errant ball, runs out in the path of your car.
The need for caution is valid.
Life is filled with words of ‘caution’ and our walk
with the Lord is no exception.
Danger can lurk when caution is not taken.
The definition of the word caution makes this clear –
to state a warning about the possible danger, problem, or risk of something so you can take the necessary action to avoid harm,
loss, or injury.
When the possibility of danger exists, it is a wise
person who heeds the caution signs posted by the Lord or those who shepherd His
people.
Let’s take a look at some of those cautions we received
this past Sunday.
We do this not to sow seeds of fear but to equip us
against harm, loss or injury from the enemy and our own ignorance.
Please let the words of this song sink into your spirit -
