Their sin will either destroy them or it will invite the chastening hand of God.

The story is told of an old man who was traveling on an ocean liner, when a huge storm blew up without warning.
One woman lost her balance and fell overboard.
People stood frozen with horror.
Suddenly, a man plunged into the waves, grabbed her, and held her until a rescue boat came.
When they were pulled out, everyone was astonished and embarrassed to discover that the hero was the oldest man on the boat—a man in his eighties.
That evening they held a party to honor him.
When they called on him to make a speech, the old man rose slowly.
He looked around at the people, then said, "I would like to know just one thing."
There was an embarrassed silence.
"Who pushed me?" Sometimes that is the only way we start moving.

part of the Heavenly Kingdom
do we train on our own or do we force God to train us?
