We were on the way to the farm stand to pick up our weekly produce. I usually let the kids get a honey stick when we are all done. One of my boys was not obeying on the way there so I told him he would have to stay in the car and not get a honey stick. Oh boy, sometimes it is sooo hard to stick to a discipline because it makes your own life so miserable. All the way home he cried about not having a honey stick. All The Way. But of course it was worth it to teach him the lesson to obey.
I was just thinking about this in comparison to how I react to God's wisdom in my life. I am learning that the Lord's knowledge, wisdom, and understanding are perfect. He knows exactly what is best for me and in His wisdom ordains my days. Bet yet I also know there are many days that I am like a five year old, kicking the back of the car seat, screaming, "I want my honey stick!". So I am also learning how the Lord is perfect in patience, love, grace and mercy. That is one reason I love mercy.
