WHATEVER has happened in the kitchen? The milk has boiled over and has frightened the two girls and little boy, and in the excitement, one of the girls has tipped her basin over, and the water has poured on the cat, so you may be sure there must have been considerable noise in that kitchen when all that happened, vet poor old grandma-slept through it all. No doubt she was exhausted with all her work, but it is evident she must have been accustomed to lots of noise or she would never have gone to sleep, and kept on sleeping in the midst of the sizzing milk, screaming children, and yelling cat.
This makes me think of many people today who have become so accustomed to the sound of the gospel that they have gone to sleep about it; that is, it ‘has no effect upon them whether they hear about the love of God in giving His only begotten San for poor sinners so that they may go free; or hear about the terrible judgment that must come to the lost; all these things have no more effect upon them than all the noise does on poor old grandma who sleeps through it all.
How is it with you, dear reader? Have you been affected with the wonderful news of the love of God to the extent that it has won your heart to Him? Have you trembled at the thought of terrible judgment for the despiser and rejector of that love, or have all these things passed off your mind without any effect?
