2 John 1:8 NASB "Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward." It can happen in a split second! Today's verse teaches us to watch ourselves so that we don't lose it all! I watched as another prominent man lost it all. He lost the respect, the honor, the blessings of working hard by making a simple misguided step in life. His record will be tarnished forever, not for all that he accomplished but for what he did in that split second that caused others to question his character. His work will no longer go on, people will shy away from him, he will struggle to find another job. In a split second, all that we have worked for, our reputation can be tarnish but worse, our witness of Jesus Christ can be called into question. One moment of walking in the flesh can kill all that was done by walking in the Spirit so let's be careful out there - think twice, act once! peace, tom
