This morning as I was laying in bed, next to a wiggly 2 year old that had decided she didn't want to be in her crib any more, I learned a valuable lesson. She wanted to put her feet down on the side of the bed, but when she did her feet got stuck. She put them there, they got stuck, she cried for help, I pulled her legs out and told her don't put them down there, she puts them down there again!
This cycle continued maybe two more times and then I started thinking about how we're all like that with Elohim. He'll tell us to do, or not do, something for our own good. But in our willful, and selfish, way we go against what He says. Which only results in us getting into a situation where we must cry out to be rescued. How senseless of a cycle! If only we'd obey instantly we could avoid so much heartache.
My prayer this Shabbat is that Adonai would show me the areas that I am in rebellion and help me adjust them accordingly.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. -Psalm 139:23-24
May your sabbath rest be blest! Shabbat Shalom!
Thank you for getting back with me, and I am in the mode for prayer... I hope your Shabbat is blessed!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am so grateful for the grace that He gives us, even when we cry out for help for the same thing over and over again..
