Be Careful How we Walk
Matthew 18:1-7

We might think our sins affect no one but ourselves, yet that’s not true.

What we do impacts others whether we know it or not.

Jesus used strong terms to warn us: He said causing another person to sin would leave us worse off than if we were “drowned in the depth of the sea” with a millstone around our neck.
Matthew 18:6

People observe what we do and who of us is without sin?

We may try to excuse ourselves by claiming that most of our sin is trivial, hardly a blip on the screen, so such small indiscretions will not be noticed by others, let alone be damaging to them.

let’s consider how some of our common sins can lead others down the wrong path.

• Our lack of forgiveness towards someone could cause a close friend or family member to take up our cause and feel resentful too.

• Anger that flares up in us at regular intervals may be copied by our children, who then think they, too, have the right to express their tempers whenever they want.

• Lies we tell to get out of tight situations send a message, especially to children, that truth is optional, depending on the circumstances.

• Conversations filked with gossip can severely damage the reputations of other people and cause listeners to sin by spreading the rumors.

The Lord’s warning should be taken seriously.

We should consider the consequences of our actions or attitudes and then turn toward Jesus in confession and repentance.

When we ask, God will give us the grace and strength to walk in His ways and influence others toward righteousness.

Have we asked God to guide our steps and thoughts today?
