Thank-You For Guardrails

“If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.” Matthew 5:29-30

A great message in church this past Sunday gave me an idea for devotions today. Out here in the west we have many mountains and curvy treacherous roads and guardrails bring comfort and security. The roads that don’t have any frighten me. Guardrails keep you from plunging down a mountain side to your death. 

Guard rails are important in life too. Guard rails such as God’s words in the Bible giving you guidance for how to stay on the path that leads to Heaven. You need to follow guidelines in life to stay on the path and not careen into Satans ditches. 

So how are you today. Do you have guard rails protecting you? 

PRAYER: Lord I choose to stay within your guard rails and not allow the enemy to send me careening off a moral cliff. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
