A prudent person sees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.

Proverbs 22:3 NLT Bible

Our actions have consequences! If we do good things, we are rewarded with positive results and if we act impulsively and disobey God, then we suffer the consequences of our actions. We have the Word of God as our handbook for living, but sometimes we break God's laws, and this results in pain and heartache for all. As children of God, we know when we are doing something that is contrary to the Word of God, but many are unable to resist the temptation in front of them and succumb to sinful desires. When this happens, we pay the price and suffer dire consequences. Relationships are destroyed, trust and respect are lost, misery and heartache ensue, sometimes families are torn apart and, in some instances, are never restored. 

Acting prudently means that we walk away when we are tempted to do wrong, such as lying, cheating, stealing, lusting, sexual immorality, gossiping, and anything else that displeases God. We need to make sure that before we do something, we stop and think if it's right, if it will hurt someone, but most of all if it will displease God. Sin separates us from God, but if we come humbly before Him and ask for forgiveness, He forgives us. This does not remove the consequences of our actions, but with God's help, we can learn from our mistakes and try to rebuild what we destroyed.

Thank you, Lord, for dying for my sins. Help me to obey Your Word, to avoid doing things that are wrong, to walk away from the very appearance of evil. Let me be mindful of the consequences of my actions. Give me Your wisdom, Lord Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
