OBSERVE CAREFULLY
So Jesus came to Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After looking around carefully at everything, he left because it was late in the afternoon. Then he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples.. (Mark 11:11 NLT)
When we’re making important decisions it’s necessary that we first take time to observe carefully, pray, evaluate, and then take action.
There are many people who make decisions without thinking and without consulting God; they get carried away in the moment by their emotions and therefore harm their spouse, their children, and themselves.
Jesus first looked carefully, then thought and prayed, and finally made a decision to cleanse the temple.
Jesus clears the temple:
When they arrived back in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people buying and selling animals for sacrifices. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. (Mark 11:15 NLT)
Think about it:
What important decisions are you about to take?
Have you already taken the time to think, analize and above all pray?
What consequence have you faced because you have taken decisions lightly?
