I am more careful than I used to be.
Winter meant sliding on ice as a child. Now, if I see it, I toddle like a Penguin.
Life is kind of that way, too, especially as the years pass--progressing through life with careful steps.
People speak of a new normal. We have little idea of what this will look like. With a definition of usual, typical, expected, the word may become obsolete. In other words, there may be no "normal."
And so, we tread carefully.
Yesterday, I came upon the "Ten Top Questions God asked in the Bible." It's interesting how what applied in ancient days still applies today.
1) Where are you?
2) What is this you have done?
3) Where have you come from and where are you going?
4) What is your name?
5) What is that in your hand?
6) What are you doing here?
7) Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
8) Whom shall I send?
9) Do you have reason to be angry?
10) Son of Man, can these bones live?
These are questions God asked of Adam and Eve through Ezekiel with points to be made, lessons to be learned. I could ask these questions of myself, each day of my life, to help keep me on course. They are especially relevant, now, with a new beginning, 2021.
The tick tock of the clock does not stop. We're at a crossroads. We're on our way--sometimes pushed, sometimes pulled--whether we want to or not.
Tread carefully.
Stay close to your Redeemer King.
Pray. Praise.
