A Child Kind of Faith
"Don't stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to
people that are like these little children. I tell you the
truth. You must accept the kingdom of God like a little child
accepts things, or you will never enter it."
-- Mark 10:14b-15 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
We must have child-like faith to be a part of God's Kingdom. So many
things about the Kingdom require of us a "dangerous innocence" and
genuine humility. Yet Jesus demonstrated these child-like qualities. He
wants us to travel along our religious journey as trusting children of
God, not as worldly wise theologically astute scholars. Now don't take
me wrong on this; we are not told to throw away our brains to become
Christians. However, we are taught to live in a way that is often
upside down to the world and its conventional wisdom. To do that, we
need to go back and experience the gift of salvation, the magnificence
of God, and the wonders of grace as wide-eyed, excitable children who
trust in God's ways, God's love, and God's care.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O God, make my heart child-like and my faith fresh and new each day. In
Jesus' name. Amen.
