SCRIPTURE:
“Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?”
Proverbs 6:27-28 NKJV

OBSERVATION:
Every action, whether good or bad, has a consequence. We like to eliminate negative consequences, but they perform an important function. Thank God for negative consequences! They are there to help us make good decisions.
APPLICATION:
Bad decisions have bad consequences. Some want to do whatever they want and somehow avoid the consequences. Consequences are like guardrails on a curvy stretch of mountain road. They keep me watchful and on the road.
PRAYER:
Father, even negative consequences are a gift from You. I trust You and Your Word. Amen.
