When I was a child we used to walk to school every morning and on our way we had to cross over a train track and there is a rule when you cross over the railroad tracks they would tell you to Stop Look and Listen before you proceed.
I had heard story's of kids not paying attention to the instructions and trying to cross over the tracks there way and get crushed by the train.
I find as a adult crossing over the tracks of life that the same rules apply and if you don't follow them then the train of life will crush you. Lets breakdown the instructions so we can understand.
Stop: Stop listening to negative seeds being planted in your life, stop allowing people to control your emotions, stop putting limits on what you can do, stop running from Yahweh, stop letting people dictate your worth.
Look: Look at where Yahweh brought you from, look at everything positive in your life, look at the wonderful person Yahweh has created you to be, look at the love that surrounds you everyday, look inside of yourself and see the beauty and power Yahweh put in you.
Listen: Listen to the spirit of God that he placed in you so you maybe able to discern what's for you and what's not, listen to the word of Yahweh so you can stay on a steady path, listen to the positive things people say about you and disregard the negative. Stop, Look, and Listen is vital to our spiritual and natural life and if we apply it we would have less train wrecks in our lives. Its not the situations in life that causes you to parish its your lack of knowledge. Hosea 4 vr6 6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. So please Stop, Look, and Listen before you proceed.
Look, stop and listen ...listening is always the hardesr to do...
Good Stuff....even when having patience I have to take those simple steps into practice...awesome
