Know Your LimitsDennis J. De HaanDogs
are intelligent, but Charles Medley of Rockford, Illinois, had some
doubts about his dog Bullet. Whenever
Bullet heard a squirrel, a rabbit, or a person, he would take off like
a shot in the direction of that sound. It didn’t matter that he was
tied up. By
the time he reached the end of his rope, he’d be traveling at maximum
velocity, heading straight for his target. But
in an instant, his strong rope would pull taut and jerk Bullet to a
jarring, sprawling halt. That beagle never learned his limits.

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron. —1 Timothy 4:1-2 |
We must learn the moral limits God places on us for our own good and then choose to live within them. By reading God’s Word and trusting His Spirit to teach us, our conscience becomes attuned to God’s standard of right and wrong. This helps us to know our limits and to experience the freedom and joy that living within them brings.  My conscience must be well-informed
From God's own sacred Word;
For conscience may be much deformed
When standards pure are spurned. —Fraser
Conscience
can be our compass if the Word
of God is our chart.

Espera un poco, Job, y escucha; ponte a pensar en las maravillas de Dios. - Job 37:14 ¿Hace cuánto tiempo no sacas un ratito para pensar? Sí, eso: detener todo y pensar. Sucede a menudo que el ajetreo diario nos impide percibir las cosas más simples e importantes que Dios nos proporciona... Desde el aire que respiras hoy, todo forma parte del gran regalo de Dios para ti. A veces estamos tan distraídos con todo que no nos percatamos de las maravillosas dádivas del Padre. Detente y reflexiona sobre la vida, la familia, la belleza de la creación, la salud, las sonrisas, la gentileza, la espontaneidad de los niños, el amor de Dios... ¡Hay tanto que podemos considerar y agradecer! Piensa en eso y disfruta un día lleno de bendiciones. Para y considera las maravillas de Dios hoy: Pausa un poco en tus quehaceres diarios y disfruta un tiempo a solas con Dios. Considera las pequeñas cosas, cada gesto, los detalles que revelan el gran amor que el Señor tiene por ti. Según transcurre el día agrade...
