The Lord
Protects
Those Of Childlike Faith


Scripture

Psalm 116

The Lord protects those of childlike faith;
    I was facing death, and he saved me.


Observation

What kind of faith do you have? Are you a skeptic? 

It is easy, as we grow older to become more and more skeptical! Most people that trust in Christ as their Savior began to trust Him when they were young. 

The older a person gets the more he or she seems to harden their hearts against believing and trusting in Jesus Christ for their salvation. 

But thank goodness there are exceptions! 

Maybe you are one of the exceptions, or maybe just maybe God is speaking to your heart right now and you are ready to exercise “childlike faith”. 

Here is the truth: 

God loves you. He has a wonderful plan for your life. Jesus Christ did die on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins and my sins. 

It is the truth. 

If you will trust in Christ and accept what He did on the cross for you and repent (turn from your sins and turn to God) you will have Eternal Life and you will have an abundant life here on planet Earth! It takes “childlike faith”. 

“… For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Luke 18:116-17

 “For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26

Application

I will not stop praying for those who still need to place their faith and their trust in Jesus Christ. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I know that You are at work in the lives of every person reading this simple blog. Some of them need the “childlike faith” to trust in You. I pray that You soften their hearts so they can see and understand Your plan for their lives. I pray for their salvation. Give them the boldness, the courage, and the childlike faith to declare Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives. Please don’t let them die in unbelief.

I pray for my daughter Jenny today on her birthday. I pray for her family. Bless them Lord. May Jenny trust You with all of her heart and depend on You for every detail of her life.
