Think Before You Act

Think before you do something foolish. That would have been good advice for Nathan Remington of Yorkshire, England to have followed recently. He is a truck driver and really wanted to have some gummy candies. He lost all sense of discipline and ate seven pounds of cola-flavored gummies. He ate them over a three-day period. He started having intense pain in his stomach. He went to the doctor, who determined that the gelatin overload had given him an inflamed colon. He spent six days in intensive care. That’s tough on a truck driver who counts on being able to work. He said, “It was my own stupid fault.” When you decide to do something, ask yourself the question is it really smart. Will it help fulfill God’s purpose for my life? If not, avoid it. Don’t do something stupid.
