How Much Slack is Jehovah Giving You?

A picture story about obedience featuring Piglet and Nebula.

Piglet and Nebula go for a morning walk together.

Whether we want to believe it or not, Jehovah is watching over us. He has given us free will. It’s…

  • The choice to be obedient
  • The choice to be loving
  • The choice to be charitable
  • Or, the choice to be cold, calculating, and corrupt

There is an invisible tether connecting us to Him. The length of that tether is illustrated in this story.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton’s Third Law of Physics). Our choices yield responses. Even the choices no one else sees, catches up with us eventually. As we learn, we make mistakes. We can ask to be forgiven, repent, and freed from the trappings of the mess we find ourselves deeply immersed.

Nebula is being crate trained to free herself from finding a place to “go” in the house. Choices, choices, choices…

As we learn, Jehovah keeps babies and fools protected from his wrath (Psalm 116:6). He has provided us with biological parents. The world compensates when we lack parents with extended family, adoptive parents, the foster system, and the educational system.
