When I was a kid, my grandpa had an old van he liked to drive around and tinker with.\r\nWhen there was a mechanical problem, he was a wizard with tools. But there was a second strategy he often employed when a warning light lit up on the dashboard.\r\n

\r\nInstead of identifying and investigating the problem, he had an ingenious solution:\r\n\r\n Step one: Cut a piece of black electrical tape two inches long\r\n Step two: Place said piece of tape over warning light\r\n\r\nProblem solved.\r\n\r\nThinking about that makes me smile. But there’s a great life lesson amidst the humor. Because many of us gloss over our own warnings on a daily basis.\r\n\r\nIn His mercy, God created lots of warning lights in life. For instance…\r\n

    \r\n

  • The coldness creeping into that important relationship
  • \r\n

  • The un-Christ-like attitude you’ve had lately
  • \r\n

  • The Godly counsel of your family, friends, or authorities
  • \r\n

  • Your conscience
  • \r\n

  • Your Bible
  • \r\n

\r\nDon\’t waste those warnings! You can only get away with it for so long.\r\n\r\nWhat warning signs are you ignoring? You can comment by clicking here.\r\n\r\n
