Guard Your Steps

Guard Your Steps Let God be God-in charge. You learn this at the House of God Enter thoughtfully Expect to learn
Listen Careful (Stedman) Fool utters glib, naive, false things Human tendency to murmur and complain about circumstances Complaints are against God Choices he has made for our lives Complaining will prevent us from enjoying anything-even our pleasures Listen carefully-in God's house, among God's people the truth of God is being declared the wisdom of God is being set forth.
Let Words be few God is in his heaven and you are on earth. No big picture. Don't play games with God Take vows seriously and keep them - no superficial promises Value Government, it too is from God (8-9) Don't be astonished or bitter at injustice. God has set up government to deal with it. If government doesn't, God will ultimately.

Worship seriously ...
