The Daily Journay: God’s Kids
I was just getting back from a long weekend in the mountains yesterday and thoughts of work started to hit in today. Its not that I have bad jobs that I’m dealing with but a sinking feeling that things were going to fall apart because I hadn’t been around for the past three days. I have dealt with this demon before. Its something I saw my dad lose to all the time when I was a kid. Despite the feeling I knew it was of God because of scripture that I know. So I started to pray asking God to help me overcome this spirit of fear. He gave me a thought and a scripture to go with it that I had never associated with this feeling before.
He asked me, What if your were to trust me and totally abandon your yourself to me like a little child?
Then I went to Matthew 18:1-4. Basically the greatest people in the kingdom of God are those that become like little children. I never got this scripture until I became a parent of my own. Kids are absolutely, totally needy. And the only things that my kids get upset about is went are we going to eat, do we have to go to bed and can we go outside and play. Conquering the world or negotiating a multi-million dollar deal doesn’t even register.
Jesus even said that if we were to enter the kingdom of God we would have to humble ourselves like little children.
Whats gotten you afraid today? (its a red flag that your not letting go of something that you can’t really control any way)
Think of some attributes of a little child.
Are these things that you are incorporating into your relationship with God?
Pray to God and give your fear overt o him. Ask him to speak to you and anchor your heart to his word.
