Regardless of your age, we all would like to be a kid again. Now that we have reached adulthood, we wonder what all the hoopla was about. No one told us about the mountains of responsibility that went along with the motto you can do what you want! No one told us about the concerns that went with all those freedoms. No one told us about any of the bad stuff that went with adulthood.
But wait! There’s more! You actually have a loophole in this whole adult thing. And you won’t believe who it comes from? GOD! The English Standard Version says Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” I believe He is talking about our faith. Do we trust God? Do we believe as a child?
My husband and I have our first grandson coming any day now. When that little boy asks Grammie and Papa for something he is not going to go through a list of how it’s going to happen. He will just know when he asks it will be taken care of.
That’s how we are to be with God. We pray. But do we pray as a child or do we pray and then grab our prayer and walk away with it so we can worry over it? I have done it! Dear God…then I walk away wondering how will He do it? Will He do it? Have I prayed the right way in asking for it? Will it be in the time frame I need it? And it goes on and on.
No! We are to ask our Dad and know it’s done! Oh and here’s the kicker. He already knows…everything! Wow! Talk about freedom! There it is at its finest! So if you have ever wanted to be a kid again, here is your opportunity. Run to the throne room and ask God. He is your Dad! He’s not going to let you down. Ever! (Psalm 37:25)
