I have always had a love of working with children and a love of music.  One of my favorite parts of working with children in Sunday School is singing the “good ole” Sunday School songs I grew up singing.  And I love to incorporate the hand motions.  One of my favorite songs to teach the kids is a full lesson for life.  The song, “O Be Careful” teaches how we are supposed to use our eyes, tongue, ears, hands, and feet and keep them clean.

In our Scripture today, God gives instruction to be cautious with how we use our ears, our sight, our mouth, our feet, and our heart.  He instructs us to “pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words.”  In doing so, we should keep His words in our sight and within our hearts.  We are to keep our mouths free of perversity and corrupt talk.  Our eyes should be focused on God.  And our feet should be on a good path, following God.  It can be easy to get caught up in the ways of the world.  We let our guard down and allow satan to enter our daily lives by listening to negative talk and dirty jokes.  We speak negative talk and gossip.  We watch tv shows and movies that are perverse.  And we go places a Christian should not enter.

We need to remember to keep ourselves pure and pay attention to how we use our senses.  God says we are to keep them from perversity and corruption.  I always taught my own children and the children I have served that they have two choices to make.  They can make a good choice or a bad choice.  It is up to them which they choose.  Just understand, there are consequences to your actions.  Do not follow the path of the wicked.  Keep focused on God and His Word.
