Daily Devotion:
"Childlike Faith ..."
Matthew 18:4
New International Version
4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Children believe what they are told. Some people say children are gullible, but children are not gullible; they are trusting. It is a child’s nature to trust unless he has experienced something that teaches him otherwise. And another thing we all know about children is That they can literally enjoy just about anything. They can even turn work into a game!
Our heavenly Father desires for us to come to Him as children. He wants us to know that we are His precious little ones and to put our complete faith in Him to care for us…
He wants us to take His hand and lean on Him, continually asking for His help. Everything that God calls us to do, He will help us do. He is ready, waiting, and more than willing. We can come humbly as little children—sincere, unpretentious, honest, open—knowing that without Him, we can do nothing.
As God’s children, we were never intended to live in bondage of any kind. We can experience glorious freedom and liberty—freedom to enjoy all that God has given to us. He has given us life, and our goal should be to enjoy it.
Seek to become and remain childlike with all the simplicity of a child. It will enhance the quality of your life in the most amazing way.
