have you ever been shocked, dismayed, apalled at what you have become- where the comparison of the past leaves you in deep wonder of the height that you have fallen from- the point at which the uncontrollable sliding begans- the slide that starts fun, grows exciting, and leaves your adrenalin pumpin.. you must know when to stop though, or a big 'thud' would greet you once you fly past the stopping point at the base of the slide-- a thud that would hit you back to the literal earth, and the metaphorical reality.
a thud -- i was warned of. that painful experience that accompany the sand on your pants. i'm reminded by my Constant Companion that the thud would hurt eventually-- and that makes me come to a screeching halt every time.
i don't dare go beyond because i trust. i trust that my Dad knows best.
Precaution --a caution that doesnt go unheeded. a caution thats already taken care of before danger opens it's mouth to speak into your life. temptations which you flee away from before you get eaten alive.
i'm glad i have a Father who cares enough to caution. to repeatedly remind me if i'm falling away so that i might be able to get back up.
warnings make me know that i'm still in the safety zone.
seek for wisdom and take precautions in your life today! you may never know when the thud would be arriving.
a stop sign isnt meant for stopping to sigh. a stop sign should bring about rejoicing!! :)
