The Wisdom of a 6 year old.......


So, I woke up this morning remember what my nephew Jericho, at the time was 6 but now he's 7,  had told me a couple of weeks ago. I asked him if he was afraid of the dark and this was his response, " No, I'm brave! Plus, I know that God will take care of me!!" Now that seems like a sweet thing for a little boy to say, however there is so much weight to those words. To not be afraid of what is going on in the world around you because you have a clear picture of your Father, knowing that He will take care of you, He will never leave you nor forsake you.  The Bible talks of how we should have faith like a child. Talking to Jericho made me this come alive to me. When in my adult life did I decide to put more trust in man then in my Creator? You see Jericho has a perspective of God that most people lose through the course of life. His lens through which he views life has not been clouded by the logic of man. 
  If only we could all see the simplicity of the faithfulness of God through the eyes of a 6 year old. What would our life look like? What would this world look like? So, I challenge you the way God has challenged us, trust Him with purity and innocence,.... like my Jericho!!
