A kitten's lesson!
Soul Snack 9/230 ... Approaching God - A
Unrestrained energy is released in every movement. Dancing without care from cushion to lounge to carpet, a kitten is now awake.
Darting through antique chair legs, up the stairwell and recklessly through any available doorway is the now consistent activity of this young frenetic and uninformed life.
No parent would contain this exuberance. The indulgence that energy brought, accepted no imposed restraint.
Persistently this kitten pursued its mother. Inexperience no impediment to this kitten's impulsive endeavours. The mother may bat the kitten away, foolishness she is not interested in.
"Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong." Eccl. 5:1
Tirelessly God watches the impulsive endeavours of His reckless children. Daily our impulses bounce us through open doors, upstairs, and even into places not wise.
Our unquestioned activity and busy-ness, removes us from helpful input our Father may wish to give.
In innocent foolishness, we too can approach God. His 'all covering' love for me will still engage me.
No one will approach royalty with an attitude of disrespect, disinterest or carelessness.
How I approach God is most important to Him too! My constant activity, quickly 'squeezing God in' is most ill considered. I need to understand my place before God. Fools recklessly approach God with careless chatter, but He is not impressed.
I approach God to hear, not just to speak.
