PAY ATTENTION TO THE WARNING SIGNS

We need to pay attention to the Holy Spirit warning signs. Everything has a warning sign, our home's will leak when we need a new roof, our cars have warning lights, and our bodies has pain. But, we tend to ignore the warning signs, as long as everything still function as it should. We tend to do the same thing with sin, we know it's wrong, but, because of God's mercy and love we are not immediately punished. So, we don't address our sinful nature, we don't pay attention to the warning signs.

When we ignore the visible warning signs, the problems that we don't see get worse. The roof that we didn't repair, has caused mold and rotting of the wood. What was a small sensor problem in the car, has now become an engine problem, because we ignore the warning light. The pain we ignored in our bodies, has now become cancer. The sin we continue to commit, has now separated us from God. When we don't take the warning signs seriously, the problem becomes worse. The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiveness, but, He will not leave ours sins unpunished.

Father, let the warning signs of the Holy Spirit, prick our conscience and guide us away from sin. Lord, let not our habitual sins, separate us from the Father. So, fill our hearts and minds with Your Spirit that will help us pay attention to the warning signs. Lord, we thank You, for Your mercy and grace, that hold back the consequences of our sins. Lord, help us take Your warning signs seriously, so we don't stop paying attention and our behavior becomes worse. Lord, thank You, for not standing by and allow us to plunge deeper into darkness. Lord, nourish our Fruit and grant us the desire to live a Holy life, in Jesus name Amen
