#Precaution
Dear friend,
_ precaution is a result of premeditation.
Key scripture : Luke 14:28
For which one of you, when he wants to build a house, doesn't not first sit down and calculate the cost...?
Some time ago I read an article that says, "If you are going nowhere, anywhere will lead you there." I also want to add that if you are going somewhere, anywhere will not lead you there. So it's not just enough to know where you are going, you need to find out what road leads to that place. So therefore, with this in mind, we all need to take precaution because not every road takes you to your prepared place.
*Precautionary Measures*
Precaution is being preventive. The only reason we take precaution is so we can prevent something (often bad) from happening. Precaution is a measure taken *beforehand* to ward off evil or secure good or success. But to best explain it, I need to use the word preventive.
Simply because Precautionary Measures is the same as Preventive Measures. From the word Prevent, we get Pre and Vent.
Pre means previous and vent means an opening.
In medicine, the term universal precautions refers to certain steps that medical professionals and others take for infection-control. In other words, universal precautions are the techniques that people use to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV and other infectious diseases during a surgery or an operation or a blood test or treatment.
The scientific basis of universal precautions is that individuals should treat any blood or bodily fluid as though it contains HIV, hepatitis, or another infectious agent.
So to prevent this from happening, all the vents through which you can be infected are closed eg your hands, mouth, nose, ears and eyes. So it is now considered to be a previous opening (pre_vent) because it has now been closed.
But it is really amazing how we face the deadly infections and evil in life without any precautionary measures. We don't guard our heart (which is one of the most important precautionary measures). We should all sit and deeply think about our lives and find out where the openings are so we can prevent. We need to be prudent in regard to danger.
*Pro 14:15 says the naive believes everything but a prudent man gives thought to his steps.*
*You need to be thoughtful about life for you to take precaution in life.*
In other words, it takes a conscious approach to life to avoid the dangers in it. I got to discover that every successful person I know and have spoken with are conscious about every step they take in life.
*It is not a precautionary measure if it is not taken beforehand*
You must understand that most times, the precaution we take are the decisions we make early. You don't decide in the face of a sin not to sin, you decide not to sin beforehand. The same is said that you don't prepared for battle in it, you prepared beforehand. It need to come early, that's taking precautions.
*the earlier the better*
You must learn to think about it early and not be taken unaware. I discovered that the reason why the devil seem to sometimes defeat you is not because he's stronger. No! But because he is always ahead of you. He sometimes comes early and meet you unprepared.
Don't just act as though nothing can happen to you or you can't ever fall for that! My friend take precaution! Be careful!
*It takes a conscious approach to be cautious. Don't just be conscious about life be cautious in it.*
