Children see the world with wonder, amazement and fulfillment. They are unjaded and believe that anything and everything is possible! As adults, through time and experience, we become more discerning, leaning on our own understanding of constraints and impossibilities. But isn’t that the opposite of what faith is – believing regardless of time, space, distance and possibility?!
God’s ways are not our ways, so we can’t even pretend to know what He is doing. We can’t rationalize or understand God’s sovereignty and power with our human minds!
He is greater, higher and deeper than we can even begin to imagine. It doesn’t take long to talk to a child about Jesus and to realize how small we, adults, think God is. He fits into the little, tiny unopened box we place Him in. Wouldn’t it be so freeing (and exciting!) to believe like a child? To believe that God is “huge” and “bigger than the sky”?! To believe that God can and WILL do anything or everything?! Well, we can! We have to get past ourselves and ignore our tendency to analyze and critique. We just have to believe He is, He will, He does, He can!
Let’s practice this in our lives today!
Matthew 19:13-15
