I just recently thought about life as walking on thin ice.
1. Living a life always with fear and caution, you never know when your fears might become reality, Never free in mind.
Yes that is how life turns out to be sometimes. We at all times need to be very very careful in what we speak, what we do, what we think, etc etc, Some unfortunate people are face that situation.
It is because we fear the consequences. Always having the fear of what your actions might convey. If a small mistake being done, It gives a lot of prespiration and fatigue worried about the consequences to be faced. For eg
A person in higher authority
A husband and wife relationship
In these cases there is no remedy. Life just looks like this.
A person in higher authority, cant have a tongue slip, or he has to face the consequences.
A wife with an angry and unstable husband has to face the consequences and should always live in fear.
2. This is about living a God fearing life with caution.
This is as well more like walking on thin ice. Living a God fearing life is not only difficult it also needs to be practiced with utmost caution. Because we tend to do mistakes quiet unknowingly. And when that gets over looked the more we go wrong. and finally we have to fall into sin. So living a life pleasing God, calls for more caution. But the Good thing is,
- God is always there to help
- There is no need to have that terrorising fear and unrest at heart as God understands our difficulties and looks on us with Love and care.
