Do What He Says
A Parable and Interpretation
The other day my 3 yr old brother knocked over a basket of clothing in my room that needed to be worked on and sewed. I saw it tumped over and walked over to put the clothes back in the basket and back on the shelf where they belong. I asked him to move and he would not. I repeated myself and told him to please move so I could fix it. He would not. He’s only 3 and couldn’t understand why I needed him to move out of my way. I just needed to fix what he messed up real quick and it wasn’t a big deal. So then I raised my voice and he then threw a big fit and only slightly moved out of the way and when he did he threw himself on the floor and ended up bangin his head on my file cabinet. So I felt bad that he got hurt but I thought “see there… if you would just have moved like I told you to in the first place you wouldn’t have gotten hurt. It wasn’t a big deal but you made it a big deal. ”
Interpretation
Afterwards the Lord brought me revelation and said.. ” see there…. recently I told you to move out of my way. You got stubborn and rebellious and threw a fit. It wasn’t a big deal but you made it a big deal and in the process you ended up emotinally hurt. Move when I tell you to move, speak when I tell you to speak and do what I tell you to do when I tell you to do it or not to do it and if you do that and follow my instructions it might result in saving you from harm either spiritually, physically, mentally, or emotionally. When I say to do or to not do something it’s for a reason.
So I’ve noticed that generally most of my pain is self inflicted… If I could learn to listen to the Lord and do only what He tells me to do then alot of my trauma and stress in life would cease to exist!
