Signs Of Warning

The Warning Signs
Read Luke 11


Warning, rough road ahead, slow down
Do I see the warning, no, moving to fast
God provided plenty of “signs”
To show people the way to live,
But they kept going, doing it their own way.

He tried everything but, God finally
Seen there was only one way for man
To be forgiven, so sent His Son as a sign (Luke 11:30),
A sign, nailed to a cross, shedding His blood
For you and for me, it was the only way.

Yet so many leaders pay little attention to His warning
The wages for sin is death, and all have sinned
It should of been me on that cross but Jesus
Took my place, He paid it all, dieing for me
Through Him, I am set free to live, for Him

But, we can be the same way. When life is going well,
We tend to ignore warning signs
And that we need to turn around,
Away from our sin, and turn to God
And change our sinful ways.

It’s important to remember that
We may be wrong even though life is good
Maybe it's good, because our enemy
Knows that he already has us, so
He does not need to make it hard for us.

God gives us warnings to prevent us from falling
For in time our sin will cause us to fall
But just because we ignored the signs —and fell—
It's not the end, for God said that if we confess our sin
That He will remain faithful and forgive our sins

Cleansing from all unrighteousness and make us
once again pure within, giving to us a brand new start.
You can start that new life today, if you will only
Put your trust in Him, believing and you will be saved
Walk with Him at all times and He will not let you fall again.

By Peter C. Salmond







God sends warnings to protect us, not to punish us.
