Luke 18: 15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus
for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked
them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him
and said, ‘Let the little children
come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as
these. 17 Truly I tell you, anyone
who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter
it.’
============
When I finally found a good leader, I believed almost every
word they said. I would schedule as much time as I could just to sit and listen
to their words. Whatever they told me, I would do. I trusted that person implicitly.
- Many people have earned my trust.
- Many people have lowered my skepticism.
- Many people have said things that I instantly believe in.
JESUS stopped HIS disciples from forbidding children to
approach HIM. I wonder if they thought JESUS was to politically important to
deal with childish matters. HE summoned the children over and told the
disciples to believe as a child believes.
- GOD wants me to mature to the point where I implicitly believe in HIM.
- GOD wants me to grow to the point where I have instant faith in HIM.
- GOD wants me to increase my value of HIS words in my heart versus constantly proving HIM to be wrong by thinking HE is not meeting “my” expectations.
Admiring GOD in all that HE does is a lifelong journey. It means
I have to drop my skepticism, doubt and know it all thinking. I should believe
in the promises HE says instead of wavering. But sometimes I stammer. I am glad
GOD said “MY grace is sufficient” for I truly need HIS grace. I do believe in
HIM today, implicitly.
- Are you skeptical of GOD because HE has not answered your prayer at the exact moment and the exact way?
- Are you losing your trust in GOD?
- Can you return to your childlike belief and admire GOD again?
