This morning my kids have kept coming up to me asking questions. If I don't immediately answer them I hear this, "But Dad, I NEED your help!" So they're tugging on my leg, and I'm trying to get stuff done, then I realize they can not accomplish this task without my help. This leads me to another thought. Remember what Jesus said "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these." There's a dependency. A need. And it's simple trust that Dad is enough to solve the problem, to help in the time of need. A simple dependency. God, let us have that kind of faith and trust and hope, that you are enough, that we can depend on you. Help us to have a child like faith.
A few years ago, I was ruminating over this concept, realizing that if I could only trust God, a lot of anxiety and worry would go away. I asked him, "Why can't I just trust you? Please help me trust you." and he said, "You don't trust me because you don't know me. If you knew me, you'd trust me." (implication - "spend time getting to know me")
ReplyDeleteOH! What a concept!
