In the old days, before disposable diapers were so popular and affordable, parents used cotton diapers and diaper pins. It was great fun trying to get your kid to lie still long enough so you could pin on the diaper! Legs and arms going 90 miles an hour; arching their back; screaming. You’d say, “But Billy, this diaper is for your own good” — as you’d stick him with a pin! God goes through that same thing with us! He sees the need, but we won’t lie still long enough and quiet enough for Him to take care of it. We think He’s gonna’ “stick” us with something bad! But the sooner we settle down, slow down, the quicker He can administer the antidote.
