DISHWASHER BLUES PARABLE SUBSCRIBE
PARABLE:
'Only
rich people' could afford dishwashers when I was in elem school, I
figured-- never saw one til Grandmother's friend took us to Baltimore
for a super rare visit to her son. I was SO envious after the dinner
with his 5 kids & all the rest of us...
they had The Dishwasher!
(Obviously washing was my:{ job at home.)
And... Grandmother & I laughed for 3 decades, remembering that day>>
The 5 kids fought over whose turn it was to load the thing!..
Thought of it this AM as I grumbled to myself, loading dishes unsuccessfully for large pans.. and forks slipping thru the holes in the holder:
...... DO PEOPLE WHO DESIGN DISHWASHERS ever USE one??
And then I laughed at the memory. I suspect Grandmother might be laughing in Heaven, too -- at how silly I am to so quickly forget all the Lord's blessings.
With joy, the smaller dishes are washing away as I finish hand-washing a few pans -- pans that held the FOOD that The Lord blessed us with.
(I apologize deeply, Lord God:{
Hey -- do YOU? Suppose you make special plans and work to help someone,
and then all they do is complain.
WORSE - suppose you've promised to help someone,
and then all they do is question if you'll KEEP your promise....
go around telling people that maybe you cannot be trusted??
God has every right to be angry when people do this to Him.
And so do you... but remember that you must forgive them
(OR NOT be forgiven yourself, by God for YOUR sins.....
Jesus said this in the verse we SKIM OVER from "The Lord's Prayer",
Matthew 6:12, "....and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us." (NLT)
What does LORD God say ??
Numbers 14: 27 (Click on references to go to full scripture)
THE LORD GOD SPEAKING:
“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me?
I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me."
First Corinthians 10:10 should SCARE US into stop complaining!
The LORD God tells us through Paul that He links complaining with
MANY other sins -- including sexual sins and coveting.
"9 nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;
10 nor complain, as some of them also complained,
and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
AND THEN ONE OF GOD'S LONGEST VERSES... & PROMISES:
13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
