Heed the warning:

Heed the warning:

If the warning went out that those train tracks you usually stroll through are active, you'd best heed the warning.

You can say "No train has ever passed while I've been strolling here before".

OR you can cover your ears and dismiss the warning so as to not even think about it.
But whether or not the warning has any validity to it,  it still makes sense and is in ones best interest to search the validity to the claim, and then ponder the foundation on whatever action you'll decide to take on the matter.

Simply dismissing the warning is humanly illogical, irrational and not very wise.


And dismissing any warning without pondering the validity and establishing a foundation upon one's decision is a HUGE RISK to take.


" There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." - Proverbs 16:25

The Bible is full of inspirational information, guidance for life and promises.   But it's also full of warning.  Within every inspirational message and guidance lies an inherent warning against "doing the opposite".    For example when Jesus says "Be holy for your father in heaven is holy",  these words are inherantly warning against NOT being holy.  


But then you have the very direct warnings within the Bible that are intended for all people.   


"For the wages of sin is death..."- Romans 6:23


"...for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”- John 8:24

It might be that your conscience is sounding like an alarm within you, and you're sensing the warning.
Don't tune it out but instead, heed the warning.


"He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life." -  Ezekiel 33:5
