BE VERY CAREFUL
Today's reading: John 7-9

Are you careful in what you ask of God? Do you think your prayer requests through before voicing them? Do you consider, really consider, what you're asking of the Creator, the Redeemer, the Savior?

A few men didn't--and boy, oh boy, did they ever get put in their places...

"They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stopped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, All right, stone her. But let those who have never sinned throw the first stone. Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust." John 8:7-8 NLT

Was what He said or what He wrote in the dirt more convicting to the crowd?

Could you hear the stones being dropped as the religious elite quietly slipped from the throng?

Could Jesus have answered another, less heart rendering, way?

Did the answer the accusers received satisfy their needs?

And you--what is it you're asking of God???
