To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Proverbs 21:3 NIV
There are many kids here at Disney. Many, many, many kids. The majority of those under 10 show signs of having had enough of the heat, noise and over stimulation by lunch. This is nothing new to parents. And I'm quite sure that there are a lot of "mom I'm sorry's" being thrown around by these kids. Yet no matter how many times they misbehave or act up, we forgive them, most likely after specific punishment has been delivered.
But be honest, we'd rather them behave and not have to dish out any punishment or correction. We also know that if we let them continue to misbehave they end up like the guy that skipped the line tonight while waiting for the bus...yes, another one. No remorse. No I'm sorry's. So we must correct them and forgive them until they get it right.
Aren't you grateful that God does this too? Where would we be without God's grace leading us. We mess up time and again and he forgives time and again. But God doesn't like correcting us any more than we like being corrected. Parents you know this all too well. He would rather we get it right the first time and move in the direction he's taking us.
So listen and learn in order to please God.
