Childlike...

What I ruminated on this morning..

Mark 10:15 - 'Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.'

We've all heard of childlike faith. What is and what isn't?

It is...

• Sincerely believing in the salvation Jesus came to give, even though it's unfathomable and unimaginable that God should so love, that He would send His only begotten Son to die for the redemption of our sins....
  
• Simply not doubting in God's sovereignty, Lordship, wisdom, lovingkindness, and His ways that are higher than man's.
  
• Knowing that with Him all things are possible, and that He is able to answer every prayer in His own way and own time.
  
• Weaned.

It isn't...

• being naive/a push-over.
• being theologically unsound and getting away with being doctrinally incorrect
• an excuse for careless reading of the Word, shallow study of Scripture and neglecting correct, in-context biblical interpretation
• an excuse for not praying, with the childish attitude that regards 'The Father will take care of me!'
  
• being childish in understanding, behaviour, speech and character
• immaturity in faith.
  

Where are we today?
