“I thank
Thee, O Father…because Thou hast hid these things
from the wise
and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.”
Matthew 11:25
Babies are very
smart. They learn very quickly about
love, trust, and obedience. They are
selfish, demanding and innocent. They
are shaped and molded by their surroundings, what they see and hear. It will remain with them the rest of their
lives! This is why it is so important to
introduce them to Love because Love teaches them to be unselfish, trusting and
obedient.
Babies do exactly what
they are taught; and the first thing they probably learn is obedience. It comes by way of learning what is acceptable
behavior and what is not. Whether the
teaching is done in Love or not determines whether the obedience will be out of
delight or duty!
Matthew in God’s Word says
that God reveals Who He is, His ways and His purposes to babies; not to the
wise and prudent. Is it not obvious why? Think about it…
Help me,
Lord, to see the truth about being wise and prudent.
I have been
in Your Word for over fifty years
and teaching
it for thirty.
I know a lot,
which makes
me accountable
to a lot of
obedience.
You have
blessed me greatly
with wisdom
and revelation of Your Word,
Please protect
me from spiritual pride
and keep me
simple and obedient,
bringing us
both delight.
Amen.
