Asking For It

Matthew 18:3 NIV

Kids say some of the best things. They're not afraid to speak their mind and ask questions. Some research says that kids ask around 144 questions a day. That's a lot. But they're still building up a picture of the world. They don't assume that they know already. And, most often, when they're told something that makes sense by someone that they trust or love, they accept it. They just believe it. They believe it because, to them, new truth is amazing and wonderful. And they're depending on those trustworthy people to help them build their idea of how life works. What's this got to do with anything?

Well, in Matthew 18, the disciples argued who was the best and Jesus called it out: '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"' (18:2-4 NIV).

Have you ever shied away from asking God something? It's okay - ask Him. We can guarantee He wants you to. That's part of what it means to come to God the Father as a child of His. To sit at His feet and unashamedly ask for what you need for the day/week/situation you're in, as if He has the answer to everything. Because, well, He does.
