Fantastic Friday #436 - Careful

Careful


Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”
This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. Haggai 1:5-7

Sometimes we are careful and sometimes we aren't.  We tend to not be careful when we let the world tell us what we need, how much we need and when we need it.  Interestingly enough, God gives us exactly what we need, never too much or never too little, just enough to complete His plan for each of us.  So, when we hear the scripture "give careful thought to your ways" from now on, I think we should probably give careful thought to our ways especially if God said it twice. When we aren't careful with our ways, God is typically silent until we come back to Him in prayer and petition and with a humble heart.  We need to be careful, specifically because God loves us and wants a relationship with us. 

Have a great weekend.
