A Child’s Trust
Lately, I feel like I’m in school to learn how to be a child. Children are so trusting. They know that Mom and Dad want what’s best for them and, even though they don’t always understand, they learn to submit their will to those who know better. That’s what God is asking of us. He sees what we don’t and He asks us to trust Him as He guides our steps.
As I begin another year, there are things I want to see come to pass. Some things I’m asking God for but, more than anything, I’m asking Him to help me to trust Him and be fully submitted to His will. Jesus said that, unless we become as children, we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 18:3). I believe this is what He was referring to.
In Luke 14:27 He says, “whoever does not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple.” We are to follow Him wholeheartedly, being willing to carry whatever cross He asks us to yet bearing in mind that His yoke is easy and His burden light.
May we keep looking upward, rejoicing that He is faithful and “Being confident of this very thing, that He which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).
Trust is such an incredible word. Five letters…but oh such a word!!!
