At times I’ve refused to follow directions from someone in legitimate authority over me. Genesis 19:17-26 provides a cautionary tale about the possibilities of insubordination. Even Moses was disobedient, and it cost him.
When I’m nervous, I blather. My bible warns me about running on without any real point to make in Proverbs 17:28.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom;From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 Guarding the paths of justice,
And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
9 Then you will discern righteousness and justice
And equity and every good course.Proverbs 2:6-9 (NASB)
Mmm hmm. What a Psalm 119:11 post! 🙂
Amazing post today! Such great signals to warn us along the way, if only we would pay better attention! Me too guilty as charged.
Brandee,
Thanks. I want to have the whole book hidden in my heart. 🙂
Hazel,
Thanks. (I’m sliding over to make room for you to join me on the convicts’ bench.)
It’s that Living Word, right? Still perfect guidance all this time later. Amazing.
Whenever I hear I siren, I pray. There’s someone in need. However, I ignore the same warnings in my life! Why is that?
Me too, David! On both counts! I wonder why I’m so oblivious. I suspect it has to do with pride.
Sheila, I can’t think of anything to add except “Guilty on all counts.”
I think we all are, Red. Thanks for reading!
