We have to heed the warning signs that God gives us.

When we pray and seek the Lord on matters, we want to be on the look out for warning signs.  Sometimes we want things so bad that we don't pay attention to the warning signs.  We have to remember that God's warning signs are his wisdom for us too.  If we will heed the warning signs that God gives us, it will spare us from unnecessary heartache and bad situations.  (Matthew 2:12,22)
