We are raised as children to one day to be independent of our parents. Some still struggle with this and some will always be dependent on someone. Some will never depend on anyone ever. When we are babies we depend on someone to feed us, change us and hold us if this does not happen then what happens the baby cries until the need is filled. As we get older we are taught how to feed ourselves, change ourselves and entertain ourselves. As we get even older we are taught how to live on our own until we are blessed with a spouse, which can lead to taking care of a family.
You are now an independent adult. You’ve been equipped to take on all responsibilities. You don’t need anyone’s help anymore.
That’s were we make the mistake!
Luke 18
15People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
Matthew 18
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Psalm 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is the man
who makes the LORD his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods
Until we decide to surrender all to God and be like a child and depend on him than we don’t understand his awesome power. It has taken me going through two major struggles in my life to realize this. It still is a struggle to realize that I am not in control but I feel more confident in my walk with him who put me here.
Do not be afraid to be like a little baby and cry out to the Lord to help you. That’s what he wants.
YOU
To
Surrender
All
