There are consequences for running out intorepparttar street! And,repparttar 129128 parent is way beyond distraught even beforerepparttar 129129 accident occurs, because they have a glimpse intorepparttar 129130 future. Imagine how God must, sometimes, feel watching His children runrepparttar 129131 wrong direction. Whenrepparttar 129132 consequences come and we didn't heed God's warning, God didn’t do it to us. Think about it. If our parents wouldn’t smack us with a moving vehicle because we didn’t obey, if you wouldn’t run over your child as punishment for not listening … we were made inrepparttar 129133 image of God and He loves us so much more. The truth is, when consequences come, there is no one else to blame. We would have done it to ourselves.

A Man of His Word

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Continued from page 1
There's an easy way to not makerepparttar same mistake twice. Don't make promises you may not be able to keep. We can say, "Ifrepparttar 129126 Lord be willing …" But, that's about all we can honestly agree to, knowing that none of us knows what tomorrow may bring. It could be that what God is calling us to, today, may not berepparttar 129127 same tomorrow. All any of us can rightly do is what God is calling us to, until He calls us to move on.

Only once we've heard from God can we be 'A Man of HIS Word'. And to walk with Him, we must first be available.

For that ye ought to say, Ifrepparttar 129128 Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. James 4:15
