Watch yourself!

"Watch yourself!" -- so was the comment that my parents used to say when my behavior was pushing the limits. Such is a common theme in daily life. Jesus himself said, 'Don't focus too much on evaluating other people because if you do, you will do a poor job of evaluating yourself'. Leadership materials all stress the self-evaluation. Such is following after the mind of God. Moses recognized this when he said, "... just as the Lord my God has charged me ,"

"... take care and watch yourselves closely,
so as neither to forget the things that your eyes have seen
nor to let them slip from your mind all the days of your life;
make them known to your children and your children’s children—
how you once stood before the Lord your God at Horeb ...
Deuteronomy 4:9-10a
