Got Trust Issues?
Indeed!
Then a reboot of childlike faith is in order!
Friends, family, and colleagues can let you down. Work and government can (and do) disappoint. So where do we look for peace and a purpose for living?
Do you remember as a kid the trust you had for your parent? I remember jumping to my dad, he always caught me! Multiply that parent by infinity and you have the trustworthiness of the Heavenly Father. He cares for His children. Our only need is to trust Him like a child.
That kind of trust is a condition, that word 'unless' tells us, as you see in the second verse. It is our peace and purpose all rolled into one! We can't know one without the other.
Dad has got it! He is in control and knows what we need before we even ask!
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him...
Psalm 103:13And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:3So, let's look up, become like children before Him, feel His loving care, and enter HIS kingdom! Peace and purpose are guaranteed!
