Going way back to my childhood days, I remember a song we used to sing in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. It’s called “Be Careful, Little Eyes”, and the author is unknown. It has seven short verses that all end with the same message. (any emphasis mine)
Verse one is: “Oh be careful little eyes what you see; oh be careful little eyes what you see; for the Father up above, is looking down in love; oh be careful little eyes what you see.”
From there, it goes to the ears, hands feet, mouth, mind and heart with a message for each. For the heart, it ends with be careful whom you trust; and with the mind we’re told to be careful what we think.
Even though this is considered to be a song for children, the message contained in it fits everyone. Just as a child-like message of the “A,B,C’s of Salvation” makes it easier to understand God’s plan for us, the song gives good advice of how we should live.
The “A,B,C’s” are presented by a popular Bibe teacher. “A” is for “admit we’re all sinners as given in Romans 3:23. “B” is believe that Jesus is our only way to Heaven as written in Romans 10:9-12 and John 14:6. “C” is call on the name of the Lord to be saved from Romans 10:13. Very basic and simple, yet complete instructions for the plan of Salvation.
For the “Be Careful” song, first we look at Ephesians 5:15-17; “Look carefully how you walk; not as unwise, but wise; making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Even more so today than when this was given by Paul) Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”
Using Psalm 119:9-16; “How can a young man/woman keep his/her way pure? By guarding it according to Your word. With my whole heart I seek You; let me not wander from Your commandments. I have stored up Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, Oh Lord; teach me Your statutes. With my lips, I declare all the rules of Your Mouth. In the way of Your testimonies, I delight as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and fix my eyes on Your ways. I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.”
The end of this age is rapidly approaching, and very soon the Savior will be calling all true believers up to meet Him in the air in the Rapture. It will be done in less than one second (twinkling of an eye), and only those who have already accepted Jesus will be taken. Make your reservation today, as tomorrow could just be too late. The wrath/tribulation period will be worse than anything this earth has ever experienced. Call today; Jesus is waiting for His children to call.
