Genesis 6:3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

Who was God speaking to saying these words? We can only guess this is what is being said between the Holy Trinity.

This is the decision point after which mankind has a big problem; and that is living up to God’s expectations!

God knows what we are capable of and what we can endure. He points us in the right direction for us to achieve the most; and yet we choose to achieve only so much.

It is little wonder then we have a finite timespan placed on our lives rather than being able to continue to mess things up for eternity!

Psalm 81:12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.

As a parent it is sometimes difficult to deal with new situations with your children simply because you have not had to deal with anything like that before.

When children do not listen to parents or guardians they often find themselves in difficult places. Why? Because control has been lost somewhere along the line.

God chose the right people to talk to His people to get the right reaction. He has chosen you. Are you listening to what He wants of you?
