Child-Like Faith

We were in church this morning when my son was trying to climb up my body as he always does to point out and/or reach the things he sees above him. You see, when we were still in Roanoke, there was a Sunday where he was a little tired and not really wanting to be there and so I thought we would have a fun game where I lifted him up and he touched the "EXIT" sign above the doors leaving the auditorium/sanctuary. From that point on, he has been convinced that no matter how high the object, if he is on Daddy, Daddy can help him reach it.

I was thinking on this today and drawing a parallel in how our faith should be with our heavenly Father. What we SHOULD do is look back on all the glorious blessings that He has bestowed upon us, how faithful He has been, and say: "God can get me through it, He can do anything!" But often we get bogged down in our lives and we get overwhelmed by the circumstances to remember that this is the God who parted the Red Sea, caused the walls of Jericho to come down and controls the very universe we live in. But children have a unique perspective in that in looking to their earthly parents, they are in wonder of what their parents can do and think they can do anything with their parents help. It might do us good to think of our God that way. Lord, give us child-like faith!
