1 John 4:1 NASB "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." You couldn't trust them! Today's verse is about making sure it's safe, the things we run into in life! As we entered the fire building and began to climb the stairs, my officer reminded me to test the stairs to make sure they would hold our weight! No one likes to fall, and falling through worn out or burned out stairs isn't fun and could even be life threatening. Taking it slow and checking each step was tiresome but in the end, we made it up the stairs and put out the fire. In life, we will find that it's better to go slow, test the waters, and be safe than run crazy into a situation that could cause us harm. That's where the Holy Spirit comes in, He helps us make sure that who and what we are doing are safe! The key is making sure we follow where He leads us! peace, tom
