As I was cleaning my granddaughters high chair of the crumbs and pieces of fruit it appeared to then be clean. I picked up pieces, wiped the plastic tray and seat and swept the floor area also.
This is like when we realize we said or did something wrong and quickly throw up to heaven a prayer of forgiveness and then move right along with our day.
But as I wiped the seat covering I decided to peak underneath it and found old food that had been accumulating for days and maybe weeks: cheerios, cracker crumbs, squashed fruit, and unrecognizable items.
Shouldn't we when we sin look deeper within our own heart to see what attitude or feeling caused us to sin in the first place? Was it a sin we asked forgiveness for but not truly repented for and prayed diligently to be removed from us?
This can be applied to our children as we homeschool and raise them. We need to dig deeper and help them to understand what caused the sin and why it should not be repeated or even hidden away in ignorance.
Blessings as you go threw your day with our Lord Christ. |
