 “CARELESS!”
Proverbs 19:16
“He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is careless of his ways will die.

When I was a Juvenile Probation Officer I frequently counseled my probationers to be careful about their actions. Just as often it seemed they ignored my warnings and became careless in their behavior. The result often led to their arrest and to find themselves back in Juvenile Court once again.

We have often heard the expression; “Haste makes waste,” and it is true. It is also true that being careless leads to waste and chaos. It may not be one’s intention of doing something wrong, but being careless about behavior has consequences.

There have been many commitments made to serve the Lord with all of one’s heart, mind, and soul. Commitment is a good starting point, but it is just that. It must be followed up with positive steps of action.

Have you made promises and then allowed the things of the world to slip in and cause you to become careless? Has your careless disregard of spiritual matters led to problems in your relationships with God and other people? Make a new commitment to the Lord and then insure you do not become careless.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
