God’s Protective Love

Bible in a Year :

Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

Matthew 7:15

One summer night, the birds near our home suddenly erupted into chaotic cawing. The squawking intensified as the songbirds sent piercing calls from the trees. We finally realized why. As the sun set, a large hawk swooped from a treetop, sending the birds scattering in a screeching frenzy, sounding the alarm as they flew from danger.

In our lives, spiritual warnings can be heard throughout Scripture—cautions against false teachings, for example. We may doubt that’s what we’re hearing. Because of His love for us, however, our heavenly Father provides the clarity of Scripture to make such spiritual dangers plain to us.

Jesus taught, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matthew 7:15). He continued, “By their fruit you will recognize them. . . . Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” Then He warned us, “By their fruit you will recognize them” (vv. 16–17, 20).

“The prudent see danger and take refuge,” Proverbs 22:3 reminds us, “but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.” Embedded in such warnings is God’s protective love, revealed in His words to us.

As the birds warned each other of physical danger, may we heed the Bible’s warnings to fly from spiritual danger and into God’s arms of refuge. .

Reflect & Pray

What spiritual warning has been speaking to your heart? How has Scripture confirmed a warning to you?

The Scriptures warn with love, dear God, and we thank You. May we heed those words today.

Good evening, radu...looks like you still have power. Hope your internet is behaving in the bad weather.

Get rid of any snow, or did it just make more ice?

Fairly nice day here, with some lovely sunshine late morning and early afternoon. Had to go into the office today. looking out my 4th floor window saw a gaggle of EEs with large, pushing snow shovels working on the mall flat roof.

Several commercial buildings have had collapses this winter due to the snow load

Howdy, Kathy.

Yes, still have power but I’m steaming anyway. After getting through the frigid weather with everything working nicely, tonight I have no water!!! The pressure regulator conked out. Thank goodness it didn’t do it while I was in the shower.

I’ve called the well guy but had to leave a message. I hope he’s able to replace the regulator tomorrow.

A little of the snow melted today but there’s a lot still out there. It’s just drizzled this evening but that’s about to stop. It’ll stay above freezing a few more hour and that gives power lines and tree limbs time to dry off pretty well. But there’ll be a glaze of ice on the ground and roads.

You had a very pretty day for getting out, though right nippy. Good for the EEs shoveling some snow off the roof at the mall. Flat roofs really don’t need all that snow load! If this is the first time that roof’s been shoveled, they’re lucky it hasn’t collapsed yet.

Howdy, luvie.

I see you made it there intact. I hope the traffic wasn’t crazy-busy.

Hi Kathy, we're finally going back into the '30's tomorrow, *Whew*, snowing though, typical winter snowfall.

How is your area?

Hey there, radu!

Yes, we did and no the traffic wasn’t bad at all except in our home area. Lots of oil-field related trucks and pickups hauling stuff to bring black gold to the country. LOL!

It was nice and warm here today. Did y’all warm up any at all? Tomorrow is a different story…..high in the mid-40s instead of high 60s.

To: luvie

Glad to hear the trip wasn’t too bad, except in your home area. There’s always at least some spot that you’re glad to get through on long trips.

We didn’t warm up nearly as much as you did but it did get up to 38 today and getting up to look, it’s still there. We had some drizzle for a few hours and now it’s foggy. A cold front comes through in a few hours and we’ll be below freezing the rest of the weekend. Daytime temps won’t be brutal but tomorrow night and Saturday night will drop into the single digits. *sigh*
A lot of the snow melted but there’s still a lot out there. It’s all going to be glazed with ice.

Come on, Monday!

A very pleasant good Friday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Beach for this morning's thread.

Yesterday at Chisolm Trail Park:

And I had my teeth cleaned at the dentist yesterday.

How's everyone doing this morning?
