Keygar's  Korner 
  

Where I live, school children are currently on holidays. They are everywhere, like grains of sand swirling around in a strong wind. And like grains of sand, they seem to get anywhere and everywhere, and the discomfort they can cause is also similar to grains of sand, as any beach goer will know.

Recently I have witnessed several amusing episodes of children throwing fits in shopping centres because they can't have what they are screaming for, while their poor bedraggled mothers stare upwards red faced and embarrassed seeking either divine help or hoping to turn invisible. Of course, the inept social engineers have now made it a crime to smack or even scold, so the parents of such monsters have to resort to bribery, trickery, hapless smiles or simply just resign themselves to a migraine.

The miniature perpetrators of course fear none of this, and scream even louder till in order to avoid eviction, the parents usually give in with a mutually agreed upon slight reduction in the child's demands, just to retain a transparent veil of authority over their loud lunged offspring.

As Christians however, we find God has not been got at by the fools the world puts forward as smart, and He not only does not bow to our demands, but also takes the rod of correction to us as well. We can demand healing, prosperity, spiritual gifts, signs and wonders and whatever, till we tear all the relevant verses out of the bible, but God will take no heed.

He will instead, if our hearts are actually in the right place to begin with, discipline, shape, purge, bend and twist us till we are no longer like the miniature loud lunged perpetrators of shopping centre mayhem, but instead, we are selfless, humble, quiet, faith filled givers of ourselves and our resources to others. So next time we get through demanding this and that from God, we may as well assume the position and bend over because........

correction is afoot!
