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.

Tu protección me envuelve por completo; me cubres con la palma de tu mano. (Salmo 139:5) Porque tú, Señor, bendices a los justos; cual escudo los rodeas con tu buena voluntad. (Salmo 5:12) Es común escuchar esa frase en las películas de acción durante los enfrentamientos y persecuciones policíacas. David también vivió varias situaciones peligrosas, sitiado y teniendo que luchar o huir de enemigos mortales. Pero, contrario a lo que vemos en esos escenarios de amenaza, peligro y tensión, la Biblia nos habla de un cerco diferente: Dios rodea con bondad y protección a los que confían. En estos salmos David declara que Dios es el escudo que rodea a sus justos. A pesar de todo el riesgo y la aflicción que puedan enfrentar, la presencia del Señor mantiene el corazón en paz y seguridad. Así también nosotros podemos confiar que Dios nos rodea por todos los lados. Como con un abrazo protector, el Señor nos ayuda y nos envuelve constantemente con su amor fiel. 🤲 ¡Un momento! Ant...
