August 7, 2009 Like A Child
Today’s Bible Reading: Zephaniah 1–3; John 9
Scripture Focus:
Zephaniah 3:12 I will leave in your midst
A meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Observation:
This is a theme repeated over and over and the Bible: God loves those who are humble and trust in him. Humility and trust are childlike qualities. As we mature, we tend to leave them behind, yet this is what God wants to see in his people. Is that why Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3?
Application:
Humility and trust. Those are the qualities I need to exhibit today. Humility and trust.
Prayer:
Father God, may I be like a child before you today, humble and trusting in you.
