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.

Respuesta: Muchas veces a lo largo de nuestras vidas, cuando estamos mas cerca de la bendición que Dios tiene para nosotros, somos victimas del desanimo y olvidamos que Dios prometió no desampararnos nunca. A propósito, las únicas personas que se desaniman son aquellas que luchan por algo grande. El desanimo rara vez toca al corazón de la gente sin visión y sin metas, siendo el arma del enemigo para aquellos que saben lo que quieren. “Mira que te mando que te esfuerces y seas valiente; no temas ni desmayes. Porque Jehová tu Dios estará contigo en dondequiera que vayas” Josué 1:7 Dios ha prometido estar contigo todos los dias de tu vida. En el libro de Josue, cuando el pueblo de Israel se preparaba para la conquista de Canaan, y entrar en la tierra prometida, Dios le promete a Josuè que nunca lo desamparará y requiere de él de dos virtudes indispensables, el esfuerzo y la valentía. Dios no ha cambiado hoy y requiere que sus hijos nos mantengamos en pie ...
