Jesus us told to come to him in childlike faith. Sometimes it is encouraging to look back and remember what it felt like to be a preschooler. They have life pretty well figured out. From the eyes of a preschooler, life is pretty simple! They have God’s will figured out! Here are some things to know from the perspective of a 4 year old:
God is Good (I Peter 2:3), the devil is bad (evil).
God gives life, the devil comes to take life.(John 10:10)
Just because stuff happens doesn’t mean it is God’s will. (We can’t blame God
For things He doesn’t do)
Just because something is God’s will doesn’t mean it will automatically happen.
God doesn’t hurt people, he helps them!
God can take the bad the devil tried to do, and make it good.
Sounds simple to me! In Matt 6:9-13 The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus makes it very clear that he wants the earth to experience a little bit of heaven…. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. If you haven’t memorized it, why not do it this week? Say it with me if you know it.
Our Father, who art in heaven
Holy is your Name
Your Kingdom Come
Your Will be Done
On earth
As it is
In Heaven
Give us this Day
Our daily bread
And Forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Yours is the Kingdom
And the Power and the Glory
Forever, Amen
