Yesterday my son came home from a visit with his dad...no nap this afternoon so he was a real grouch! He was easy to tantrum, cry and was just generally miserable. He was so tired that even at bed time he was almost too tired to sleep!
It made me think about following the rules. Now my son is only 2 and it wasn't his responsibility to put himself down for a nap, but when the routine , or rules, weren't followed, life was rough for him (and Mama). I was thinking of the rules that God has set for us and how life seems to be much easier when I follow them. When I hear God tell me to do something and I don't do it or I procrastinate or argue back with God, my life gets miserable. Things happen that could have been prevented if I had just followed the path my Father had laid out for me.
Help me to stay on your path Lord because I really do believe you have my best interest at heart.
"I say this because I know what I am planning for you, says the Lord. I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future." Jeremiah 29:11 (NCV)
