I must say I am irritated - - when some undisciplined child
of two or three years old, vents it’s wrath upon it’s parents and all the
nearby people are subjected to the screeching,
ear piercing sounds that the child produces.
When this little person with limited knowledge tries to rule
over everyone within earshot I want to escape from this ignoble beast.
At that
point I don’t care about the parents limited parenting skills and am willing to
cut them some slack thinking go ahead and dope up that sucker. This is the only way to control some of these
piss-ants.
Hearing someone voice the thoughts that might cross your
mind causes those who are more erudite among us the find excuses for such
behavior. They excuse the child and pity
the parents and proclaim in grandiose terms; “the child needs medical help”
hence the administration of various drugs.
What I have described is what GOD experiences on a much
larger scale twenty four hours a day.
Rebellious
children who (on purpose) do everything to tic GOD off.
While parents try everything they can think of to pacify
(what others call a brat) their little darling the self-willed child does its du
jour thing. I have heard it said; you’re going to get it when we get home or
when your father gets home. That might deter the unruly for a moment but unless
they follow thru it is less than meaningless rhetoric.
Sometimes what the parents see isn’t the mode they had in
mind when they collaborated to bring forth a replica of themselves.
Likewise GOD ALMIGHTY has a similar opinion about what he
sees on earth today but unlike today’s parent’s GOD has a remedy for HIS
problem.
One could use many similes and allegories at this moment to
make a point but suffice it to say God will put a stop to the disobedience of
man.
The word probation comes to mind when describing man’s
sojourn on earth.
Our time here is a
preparation time for what is to come and those who fail to prepare will
unfortunately not be given the access to the :joys of the Lord and will instead
suffer the pangs of God's wrath. Revelation 21:7-8 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Perhaps it isn’t unlike the grouping of people together to
gain support and reinforcement for one another as to what is going on today
when people decided to show their rebellion toward THE ALMIGHTY.
They may call themselves atheists or in some cases a so
called religious organization like the Satanists. Perhaps they exude the popular
statement; “to be politically correct,” as they remove the Ten Commandments
from Public buildings under cover of darkness.
While it is totally passé in the view of many it still bears
some validation to restate the first commandment of the ten; "Now, Israel,
what does the LORD your God require from you, but to fear the LORD your God, to
walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your
heart and with all your soul, and to keep the LORD'S commandments and His
statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?
Final word for all piss-ants in GOD’S sight; what does the
LORD require of you But to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with
your God?"
good post
ReplyDeleteYes, God must get frustrated with us at times. I am so hopeful that we are maturing in Christ. Thank you for sharing with us here at Tell me a Story.
