No matter where you're at "in the Lord" it's always best to keep it simple when seeking Him, His face, His Word. Jesus said ( King James Bible ) And
said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3
Whether you have known the Lord a long time or have just recently became a believer it's important in my opinion to continue to be that converted as a little child in our walk with the Lord. He never said be converted and become as little children and later on you can go back to your old ways of being and doing things. No! In our entire walk with the Lord we come as ....AS little children.
Now of course we that are adults know that God knows we are adults for those of us who are and He understands how old tendencies can creep back in and take us down the wrong path. Faith as a little child in our heavenly father through Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit is what will help us stay the course.
If you know of good fathers and how their little children believe in them, trust them and rely on them, then this gives us a good illustration on how we are to be with Jesus. "
( GOD'S WORD® Translation ) Trust the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
Dear God Help us to believe in you, trust you, and rely on you as little children knowing that you love us even far greater that a natural father loves his dear little children. Help us everyday and that we would praise you and thank you every day that you absolutely take care of us and have wonderful things for us! IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
