Faith Like a Child

Written by Steven Baird


Continued from page 1

As complicated as a cell-phone, a single human cell is thousands of times more intricate and complex that even our most advanced computers and we are made up of millions of cells. So why wouldn’trepparttar same criteria be required for our creation as it is for cell-phones and other computers? Because that would mean we would have to answer to somebody. We would no longer be able to live our livesrepparttar 148508 way we wanted to, but would rather have to admit we are answerable to our creator. Pride. Pride in thinking we know what is best, pride in our “own” advances, and yes even pride that we know more than God.

Children don’t suffer from this problem. They don’t know pride. They do however know what they are taught. If they are taught that God’s word is truth and thatrepparttar 148509 Bible isrepparttar 148510 “History Book ofrepparttar 148511 Universe,” they will believe it and defend it. Oh how I wish I could haverepparttar 148512 faith of a child. To simply open up God’s word and not question, but rather simply see truth.

When isrepparttar 148513 last time you had a child like faith? When isrepparttar 148514 last time you simply sat under a tree in a park and listened torepparttar 148515 sounds around you and looked at allrepparttar 148516 birds and other wildlife? When isrepparttar 148517 last time you just sat there and feltrepparttar 148518 breeze brush your skin and you looked up into a cloudless, bright blue sky asrepparttar 148519 leaves ofrepparttar 148520 trees swayed overhead? When isrepparttar 148521 last time you were simply still and were not trying to figure anything out? When isrepparttar 148522 last time you let God reveal himself to you through his creation?

Psalm 19:1-4 “The heavens tellrepparttar 148523 glory of God, andrepparttar 148524 skies announce what his hands have made. Day after Day they tellrepparttar 148525 story; night after night they tell it again. They have no speech or words; they have no voice to be heard. But their message goes out throughrepparttar 148526 world; their words go everywhere on earth.”
