Children . . .
Wiggly.
Messy.
Noisy.
Precious. Trusting. Dependent.
Little children love God. They sing they skip, they love.
But, they go their own way.
Children need guidance.
God’s Word.
This is our help.
We all need God right now. His Word is our most essential food, today.
God didn’t leave us here on our own to figure everything out ourselves. He gave us His Word. His Spirit. He invites us to receive His Spirit.
What do we choose, today?
Jesus told those who choose to believe in Him,
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me.
Because I live, you also will live.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” John 14: 18-20.
What is “that day?”
The day we believe in Jesus by faith,
Faith opens our blind eyes. Belief in Jesus softens our hard hearts toward God and the truth in His Word.
We see the light of Christ and hear His voice. Until that day, we walk in our own strength, in the direction we think is right.
Jesus tells us plainly,
“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them” John 14:21.
Jesus. Will we, “be as children,” and hear?
“Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me“John 14:23,24.
Children hear and believe. We need to learn from the children, today:
Heartfelt prayer is like a phone call to Jesus.
He hears His name. He answers your call.
Draw near to Him. Today. He will direct your steps in His light, moment by moment.
Step. By step. As a child holding the hand of their heavenly Abba.
Let these children sing some insight, today.
Please share the Soundcloud link to families who might need a God song to keep them focused in this dark day. There is light.
In Jesus, today.
(Thank you Irelyn, Emma Reese, Arden, Fred, and Devin for the great singing on my Follow the Light song!)
