Childlike Faith

16But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. Luke 18:16-17

My children believe I am the strongest man in the world. There is nothing that they don't think I can do. They believe when they are hungry that I will feed them. When they are afraid they believe I am going to protect them. When they are sick they believe I will comfort them. Whatever the problem or situation they believe that their parents hold the solution. They are dependant on us (mom and dad) to supply their needs. No matter how strong they believe I am they also believe Jesus is stronger. They pray and believe that Jesus will heal and protect their bodies. They don't doubt God at all. They know in their little minds and hearts that God hears them and will help them. They know that God helps them in school and that He has given them talents and gifts. They are never afraid to talk to Him.

Where is our childlike faith?

Who has corrupted our minds to think that our circumstances are greater than our God? We have been polluted by satan to think that God does not want to be bothered with us. We have been hindered from the presence of God by our fears and doubts. We have struggled with the circumstances of life waiting for a change to come our way but nothing comes.

Today is our day to enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus has put His foot on the neck of satan and He has called for us to come to Him. Jesus is not asking for us to come as an adult that knows everything but as a child that will believe in Him no matter what situation comes our way. He has a place for us in His kingdom but we must come as we are, believing that God is worthy of all the Glory and Honor.

A child does not know everything but they are not afraid to ask their father. They might not know how to do everything but they are not afraid to ask for help from their father. A child has no pride in what they can do but in what their father can do. Our confidence should be in what God can do not what we can do. Jesus is waiting on us to come to Him seeking the presence of our Father. Seeking His guidance, love, and strength. My oldest son has a scripture hanging over his bed that reads. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. My son believes will we? God bless you.
