"Get that out of your mouth!"

My new little vacuum cleaner walks around with her nose glued to the floor! She is really like a baby, every little thing that is on the floor ends up in her mouth, and we have found that we have to be extra careful with things that are dropped or left around.

A little while ago, Chloe was doing her regular 'let's eat everything' thing and ended up chewing on a small open safety pin. I had never seen this pin before, and had no idea how she found it! But clearly Chloe didn't realize that the safety pin could hurt her, and that other things could be poisonous or fatal. All she knows is she wants to eat them.

How often do we take a similar approach to life? Swallowing everything we find thinking that it must be good for us. How often have we wished or prayed for things that we think would be very beneficial to us?

How many times have we thought that our seemingly unanswered prayers mean that God is just ignoring us? or that we are maybe not worth listening to? Perhaps some have been led to the conclusion that perhaps He does not exist.

What if the answer was sometimes simply 'No, that's not good for you', or 'Wait till you can handle it?' Our Creator knows us better than we know ourselves! He knows what we can handle, and furthermore, what is good for us, and what simply isn't!

Why is this important?

Because lots of the time, we don't know what we really need. 

Because more often than not, we think that we need what we really just want.

And mostly, because what we want can often destroy us and hurt others.
