Answer to Last Week’s Word Search

To Noah’s Ark

A CHILDLIKE TRUST

Last night my little boy confessed to me

Some childish wrong; and kneeling at my knee,

He prayed with tears, "Dear God, make me a man,

Like Daddy -- wise and strong; I know you can."

 

Then while he slept, I knelt beside his bed,

Confessed my sins and prayed with low-bowed head;

"O God, make me a child, like my child here –

Pure, open, trusting thee with faith sincere."

--Andrew Gillies

One of the great qualities of children is their sense of dependence.  A little child takes comfort in holding the hand of his parents.  He's perfectly content to be utterly dependent on those who love him and care for him.  When I was a child, I wasn't able to buy my own food or clothes or maintain my own home; yet I never doubted that I would be clothed or fed, and that there will be shelter and warmth and comfort.  I had parents, and my trust was in them, not in my ability to accomplish anything.

As Christians, where is our trust?  God has promised to take care of us.   "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called accord­ing to his purpose." Romans 8:28).  "For he himself has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.'" (Hebrews 13:5).  Let us have a childlike faith!

Have a great day!
