Matthew 18:2-4
He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Thinking on this childlike faith, it occurred to me that children have a natural faith in their parents to provide for them in their every need. Clothes, food, shelter, etc, are items children naturally do not think about, they just know (by a childlike faith) it will be there provided by the parents.
We too, as children of our Father in Heaven, should by pure faith, know that He will provide our every need. This should never be a worry or concern of ours. For He knows before we ask what we are in need of, even when those around us do not know.
This is the faith he is commanding us to have. A faith that is whole, pure, and humble, like a child. This is a saving faith. May your faith be empowered by His saving grace today. Be ever keeping yourself humble like a child, unpretentious in all your ways. For this will ever be keeping you near our Father's heart.
Blessed are the poor (humble) in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matthew 5:3
