Rain in the Parlor

Narrator: Chris Genthree
WHAT are the children up to? All they are thinking about is their present pleasure, with no thought of the damage they are doing to the beautiful parlor, nor thinking either about the punishment that must surely come.
How much this is like people generally. They do not think what the result will be for time or eternity of all their wrong doings. Children and grown up people too, do wrong things, and others are made unhappy by them, and then the worst part is, we must all give account to God, as the Scripture says,
“AS I LIVE, SAITH THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS TO GOD.” Rom. 14:1111For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (Romans 14:11).
What a solemn thing it is when we think that all we do, we have yet to say to God about.
May you ever say, dear children, “Preserve me O God: for in Thee do I put my trust.” Psa. 16:11<<Michtam of David.>> Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. (Psalm 16:1).
