Proverbs 24-26

THAT'S GOING TO HURT IN THE MORNING...
Okay, so you know when something bad happens in a movie or when someone falls off of something, there's always that smarty that states "that's going to hurt in the morning!"
That, to me, was clearly addressed in today's reading. Whether we like it or not, there will be consequences for our actions. God will judge us, (and forgive us) if we do the wrong thing. That's what's so great-- that God is a loving God who will always love us.
But this verse is almost like a warning to me, to tell me that doing bad things is NOT okay:
Proverbs 26:27
Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,
and a stone will come back on the one who starts it rolling.

I guess we already knew that... DOING BAD THINGS IS NOT OKAY. We've been taught that from childhood. But we need to stop acting recklessly and thinking "it's okay, God will forgive me!"
Granted, God WILL forgive you, but that doesn't mean we can take advantage of that and act stupid all the time. Clean your actions up a bit! Act for Jesus!
Peace out.
