I Don’ t Understand i lometimes I don’t understand |you, Mother. What’s so wrong about staying across the street after dark?” “ I don’t e s p e c i a l l y care whether you understand me or not, David. My business is to teach you obedience, not the why or wherefore of my discipline. I do not want you away from the house after dark simply because you belong in the house then.” “ I’m no little kid. Don’t forget I’m 14. I know how to behave.” “ Mother doesn’t doubt that you’d not deliberately get into trouble. But you must remember that most of the boys living in that apartment center have little or no Christian training. Their parents don’t care what the boys do as long as they are not under foot. It is after dark when many youngsters your age get into trouble. You want to keep your testimony shining, don’t you?” “ Yes, ma’m, I do. I’ll try to remember.” Several days after this conver sation David’s parents were en veloped in a fiery trial. “ Dear Father,” Mother cried in anguish of spirit, “ I don’t understand why we have to go through this. People are so fickle, Lord, and I don’t think they’re worth it!” Suddenly, above the rebellion, her words to David beat on her heart, but the voice was the Lord’s. “ I don’t especially care whether you understand Me or not. Yours is not to question but to obey. My discipline is for your good, and I will never fail nor forsake you.” Rebuked, Mother fell on her face before her Father God Who never makes a mistake. The Word rolled in cleansing waves over her soul. “ No chastening for the present seemeth . . . joy ous . . . nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby” (Heb. 12:- 11 ).
