HOW MANY WARNINGS WILL WE GET

I just finished reading Moses chapter 7 and 8. Being mostly familiar with the story...City of Enoch(Zion) being taken and saved, people suffering because of unbelief and sin, many warnings given to the people to shape up or else... It makes me think one thing about my own life....

How many warning will I get...or NEED. I would hope that I am heeding to His word, but am I doing all I can or should.  When the warning of the flood comes, will I be prepared, will I believe? Will my Heavenly Father have to "weep" for me?

In chapter 7 the Lord wept for his people. He wept...but he had to show consequence for their wrong doings, their evil hearts. In chapter 8 He even gave a time frame...but they STILL didn't listen. "And God said unto Noah: The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is filled with violence, and behold I will destroy all flesh from off the earth."

Even with my own kids I warn them, I even count(time frame), but many times it finally comes down to consequence... something to really teach them a lesson. And there have been many times that I have cried as I disciplined the kids...time out, taking away a toy, missing a party, etc. But it had to be done to rid them of a bad habit, a tantrum, etc. And that is at about the most MINUTE level you can possibly get...can you imagine God's weeping as he knew the end of all those people - his people - were coming.

I know the future is inevitable...but it if we can all live our best selves...be the best we can be, our Heavenly Father might not have to shed quite as many tears...I don't know...
