A humble, unpretentious faith could rightly be called a “child-like faith.”

In Matthew 18:1-9, we hear Jesus preaching to His disciples about this child-like belief.

At one point, while Jesus was talking to His disciples, children attempted to come to Him, but the disciples stopped them.

This act of preventing the children from coming to Jesus did not sit well with Him.

But then, Jesus brings forth the children Himself and says, ”Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them, for such is the kingdom of heaven”.

Children are valuable and loved by Christ, so much so that He further declares, “Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of God” (v. 4). Unless we do so, we cannot even enter Jesus’ kingdom. But whoever does so is great in His kingdom”.

You see, kids have this sense of believing that we adults can learn from.

These kids in Matthew, who were attempting to reach Jesus, knew with a pure heart that He was worthy of following without doubt.

Friends to become like a little child, as Jesus says, means that we humbly accept that there are things that we cannot understand about the greatness of God's plan and simply take Him at His Word.

We can have child-like faith with peace in our souls because of our heavenly Father’s good care for us.

He is always loving us, pursuing us, and pruning us to become Who He created us to be.

Let us walk in child-like faith today and every day after.

The post Simply Take Him At His Word appeared first on .

I am thankful for a God who is more powerful and more loving than my mind can even comprehend.

Scripture tells us His thoughts and His ways, which we cannot fully understand or grasp, but we can rest in the knowledge that He is good because everything He does is good.

And even though I fully do not understand His ways, I trust Him.

I trust Him because He loved me with all I am- sins included.

I trust Him because even in my brokenness, He still pursued me.

Even after He pursued me, He didn’t leave me but instead; washed my unworthy feet and restored my heart.

I trust him because with Him I was forgiven and made new.

The Bible says those who are in Christ are a new creation.

Friend, there is no other God like Him, before Him, or after Him.

He is sovereign on all creation.

Remind yourself today of the Almighty and loving God you serve.

There is nothing He cannot do.

I pray today your heart desires to continue to follow His word and trust that His path always leads to freedom and peace.

The post He Is Sovereign On All Creation appeared first on .

Though our sin was great, His love was greater.

What a statement this points to of God’s mercy and grace towards us, His children.

While we were still broken and walking in sin, God saw us and did not take pity on us.

Instead, He chose not to forsake us.

John 3:17 says- for God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

Scripture is clear- we have done nothing on our end to receive this deliverance.

Our works did not save us.
Our kind hearts did not save us.
Our good deeds did not save us.

Only God has the power to forgive our sins and make us new.

Friend, we are solely saved because we have a loving, heavenly Father whose only Son paid the ultimate sacrifice- laying down His life to forgive our sins and give eternal life to those who believe.

The Bible says, “this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice of our sins” (1 John 4:10).

Halleluja!

We no longer live in condemnation but have been cleansed and restored with the blood of Jesus.

Our Savior died for our iniquities, but it gets better- He still lives!

Though the enemy thought he won, death could not hold Him.

And now, how sweet is the sound that saved a wretch like you and me?

For this, let us praise and glorify Him forever more.

The post He Chose Not To Forsake Us appeared first on .

While the world will have you believe that evil prospers and justice doesn’t prevail, the Bible tells us otherwise.

Let’s read what Psalm 94:14-15 says about this- For the Lord will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance. Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

You see, the God we serve is still standing amongst us now.

He is everlasting and is still moving mountains that we can not see or understand yet.

And as believers, we are called to have faith even as small as a mustard seed.

We can dwell not in the noise of this world but in the One who never becomes faint or weary.

Friend, let not the worries of these times drift you away from your faith in Christ but instead, let your hope in the Lord be renewed when you seek your strength in Him first.

The Bible says those who trust in the Lord will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not become weary, and they will walk and not faint.

We can do nothing apart from Christ, but in Him, we have all the strength of His might that we need to keep going in this life.

He is worth keeping our hope anchored to today, tomorrow, and forever.
