This morning I could tell that Bubba was thinking hard about something…you could see the steam ;) He asked me where in Genesis he could read about Noah. I directed him to Genesis 6, with a little help from Tootle Bug. Bubba headed out to do his quiet time, and when he came back, I could tell he wanted to chat.
He said, “Mom, have you ever thought about the fact that God only gave Noah directions for the ark once?” Amazingly, I had! Bubba said, “Can you imagine having to remember all those details for 150 years?” I responded with, “No, I can’t even remember to “be angry, and sin not!”” Bubba responded with, “Yeah but if you heard God talk to you, wouldn’t you remember?”
Isn’t that funny!?!?! Honestly, if I heard the audible voice of God, I would probably melt into the ground! In my frazzled state, I am constantly writing things down so that I don’t forget anything! Can’t you just picture me, “Ok, so that was how many cubits? Let me jot that down on my note-taking app.”
…Sigh…
It brought to my attention again my need to slow down and focus on what is right in front of me, my Bible, my kids, whatever.
