Truth or Consequences

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.
