GOD’ SAFETY LID

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Isaiah 55: 8,9 King James Version

I keep the lid on my toilet down because I don’t want my parakeet to fly into the water. My sister told me that I didn’t have to worry about it because Baby wouldn’t do that. Guess what, a couple of weeks ago she landed right on the toilet. If the lid hadn’t been down, she would have gone into the water.

God has to keep the lid down on our ways, emotions, and plans at times because they are not good for us. Many times we want to do something that we think is okay, but God knows that it is not good for us or in His Plan for us.

There are many times when I would have really been in trouble if God hadn’t stopped me from saying or doing something. When we are tempted to say something critical and sarcastic to someone, we need to ask God to please shut the lid on our mouth.

When we want to go places and do things that we know He does not approve of, then we need to ask Him to please keep us from going there and doing those things that break His Heart.

Ask Jesus to close the lid on the things that you say and do that would bring shame to Him. Remember, He knows best!
