Sit Up and Watch Where You Are Going

Week 1: Paying Attention

Sit up and watch where you are going.
Proverbs 4: 25-27

This is the mantra I heard over and over again whenever we went for a ride when we were young. We were not allowed to complain. Ordinarily, Daddy wasn’t double jointed but somehow he could get his arm back to us in the backseat while he was driving without turning around.

But, if I listened to today’s proverb I didn’t have to worry about getting into trouble. This one statement has given me the ability to return to anyplace I have ever traveled. It gave me the gift of remembering. How I need to remember this proverb when I am listening to others or just going along.

Ask yourself today, “Where do I need to sit up and watch where I am going?”

Pray today for the country as we remember the wrongful and evil acts carried out on 9/11/2001. Pray that we sit up and watch where we are going as a nation and stand ready to turn to the Lord.
