Jesus has a real knack for rejecting conventional thinking and
surprising us with a wisdom that is simple yet profound. The world that
we have grown accustomed to places certain demands on us if we are going
to achieve any type of status – level of education, family ties, the
right connections, and other factors play a part. It is only by climbing
up the proverbial ladder of success that we have any real chance of
making it in this world.
The Christ puts an entirely different spin on this. He emphasizes
the necessity for simplicity, even a child-like faith, for those who
will lead in His Kingdom. It is not how much we know, or who we know, or
where we have been. The real issue that concerns Jesus centers on how we
view Him. Is the faith that we profess one of wide-eyed wonder? Are we
filled with awe in the presence of God? Can we place everything in the
hands of the Father, trusting that He knows best? That is what Kingdom
Kids do. PRAYER THOUGHT: Lord, I want nothing more than to trust you like a
little child does. Give me faith. |
