Thoughtful Moment: 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 this year is, “if you don’t want temptation to follow you, don’t act as if you’re interested.”

There are many things that could “burn” us, so why play with fire? The Bible reminds us one cannot scoop fire into our lap without getting burned… simple truth. 

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