Read: Luke 18:15-17
SOAP: Luke 18:16-17
This passage made me think of Ellie and Owen when they instinctively grab my hand as we walk somewhere. That is a simple act of complete trust that mommy will lead them to safety. We must approach God the same way - totally trusting Him to protect us and do what is best for us. Faith should be that dependant: total trust in God to keep His promises. Father, when I tend to manipulate my life, help me to trust you instead like a child.

ReplyDeleteI personally love verses that speak of little children and when Jesus said “you must receive the kingdom of God as little child” it gets very exciting to me. Little children are so beautiful and when they are excited they can hardly contain it. They love and trust unconditionally and have you ever watched a little child’s face when you are showing them how to do something new? They can hardly wait to try it out for themselves; they are almost jumping up and down with great anticipation. So as I think on these soap scriptures I ask myself “am I really that excited about the kingdom and especially when I am shown something new about his Word?” I hope we are all and then we need to run out like little kids do when they get something new and tell everyone we meet about it.

What stands out to me today is that Jesus is never to busy to be bothered by us. He is always there just like he was for the little children. He used the innocent faith and trust that children have to illustrate how we should be. Help me Lord to always have the childlike trust and faith in you.
