Careful

a WORD from God's Book

Careful
_______________________________________________________

Isaiah (again!) gives us the metaphor for pulling this together: Careful! I've put a huge stone on the road to Mount Zion (heaven – God’s dwelling place), a stone you can't get around. But the stone is me! If you're looking for me, you'll find me on the way, not in the way.

So be careful that you don't become misers of what you hear. Generosity begets generosity. Stinginess impoverishes."

Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others.

And be careful that when you get on each other's nerves you don't snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.

if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don't get bossy; if you're put in charge, don't manipulate; if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face.

God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all--life healed and whole.

Romans 9:33 Luke 8:18 Galatians 6:4 1 Thessalonians 5:15 Romans 12:8 1 Peter 1:5
