Is There a Tension that Deserves My Attention?

Every once in a while - before we decide, make a move, choose a direction, there is an inner "stay of execution." We can’t even explain it - but there is like a STOP sign in our conscience. Many times, that check is from God - or from this inner place that tells us to push the pause button. You could call it the tension that demands our attention. Sometimes what we’re planning is clearly outside the lines. What we want is to do what we want to do - and then have God come in and bless what we’ve done. No decision we make is ever totally irredeemable - but most can’t be unmade - not without a lot of pain. God gave us a conscience for a reason. When we keep blowing through the STOP signs, and ignoring the inner voice, it stops. It’s called searing your conscience.
