When our children were younger, we often needed to discipline them for whining. One day when I was feeling especially frustrated and overwhelmed by their high-pitched protests, God seemed to gently show me how I sometimes do the same thing with Him. As His daughter, I might ask for something which I feel I desperately need or want, and He responds, “Not now…” And my heart wants to whine, “but… I can’t wait anymore!” When I don’t trust God’s way and His timing for my life, I may communicate an unwillingness to accept His leadership or a lack of trust that His way is the best choice. As we instruct our children today, let’s remember to be listening to our loving and wise Father as He instructs us. We can trust and obey Him with complete confidence that He knows what is best for us!
"As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the LORD is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him." 2 Samuel 22:31
