Playing with Fire

“Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?” Proverbs 6:27 NIV

One of my favorite quotes from early this year was “if you don’t want temptation to follow you, don’t act as if you’re interested.”

This is a short journal entry because it needs little explanation. There are many things that could “burn” us, so why play with fire?. The Bible today reminds us one cannot scoop fire into our lap without getting burned… simple truth.

Let us be aware of the fires we might be playing with and make a conscious effort to put some distance. The sooner the better. Let us prevent something while it still can be preventable.
