Childlike faith trusts. Childlike faith knows no bounds. Childlike faith listens to what is said, and believes it......
Acting like a child is okay and expected when we are children. But as we grow up and mature, we should leave childish ways behind. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13:11, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” When you are a child, it is okay to act like one. But as you grow up, you should put away childish behavior, Leave behind childish ways and childish demands. If you’re going to demand something, demand what God says you should demand. 1 Peter 2:2 says that as infants, as babes in Christ, you must crave the pure milk of the Word. The word crave means to desire, to demand, to long after. It is not wrong to be like a child, but it is wrong to act like one. God wants us to grow in wisdom put away childish behavior. To do this we must disipline our own behavoir, be filled with his great wonder: We need to be overwhelmed with the wonder of His love and power, what he has done and will do in the future for us. "He created this world around us! He can do anything! And He came for me! He loves me!" Second, we need to be straightforward with regard to our sinfulness... Third, we need to trust in Jesus, believe Him with the simple faith of a child, knowing He is so far above us that we will never understand Him – but WE CAN TRUST IN HIM. ~Amen~
