Let
The Little Children Come To Me.
Don't
Stop Them,
For
The Kingdom Of God Belongs To Such As These.
Scripture
Mark
10
13 Some people
were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but
His disciples rebuked them.
14 When
Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, “Let the
little children come to Me. Don’t stop them, for the
kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15 I assure
you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little
child will never enter it.”
Observation
Trick
or Treat … Last night we had kids come to our door non stop until 9
PM that's when we ran out of candy!
Oh
my goodness ... it was awesome!
Our
next-door neighbor made a spook house out of their carport and said
that they had 500 kids and adults go through it!
I
know that the backdrop to Halloween is evil, but it was good seeing
people in our neighborhood being so giving.
Most
(but not all) of our grandkids were over at our house last night and
I think that they all had a lot of fun.
Our
five-year-old granddaughter Amelie loves to help us pass out candy to
the kids when they come to our house. Last night when we finally ran
out of candy Amelie said to Kathy, “Grandma, we can give them my
candy!”
You
and I need the trusting heart of a child. We need the childlike
faith. Let's not let our hearts get hardened to the things of God.
Application
A
group of University of South Florida College students who are
connected with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship came by our house
last night asking for can goods instead of candy to be able to feed
the hungry. I was impressed by their witness. I need to think of how
to be a better witness to all the trick or treaters that come to our
door.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to be a light in the darkness. Help me to use every
opportunity that comes my way to share my faith. Give me a heart that
is trusting. Give me childlike faith. I pray for my children, their
spouses, and all 15 of my grandchildren. Help all of them to place
their faith and trust in You. Don't let any of them miss Heaven
because of a hard heart.
Thank
You for allowing Kathy and I the opportunity to celebrate 50 years
of marriage today! She is absolutely the best gift that You have
ever given me. You are a God of grace because I sure don't deserve
such a wonderful wife. Smile on her today with Your favor!
