Sitting inward a java shop, I was pondering Psalm 66:18-20:
"If I had cherished sin inward my heart, the Lord would non gain got listened."
I didn't fully sympathise how God could destination listening.
Just then, a woman raise together with fille sat downwardly at the booth side past times side to me.
The lilliputian fille climbed happily into her mom's lap together with began eating a muffin.“Don’t gain got such large bites,” her woman raise warned, “You’ll brand yourself sick.”
To my surprise, the fry glanced at her mom defiantly together with stuffed the residual of the muffin into her minor mouth.
“Time out!” her mom said moving her from her lap to a chair. “You didn’t heed to me.”
With a rima oris total of muffin, the fry began protesting.
“I’m non listening,” her woman raise responded.
Aha! That's what Psalm 66 means.
When nosotros defy God, He puts us inward “time out” to become our attention. He nonetheless loves us, exactly He stops "listening" until nosotros are gain to surrender our rebellion together with climb dorsum into His lap.
