“Childlike Faith”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 131
Matthew 18:1-4 “At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? [2] And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, [3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
Childlike faith is doubting nothing, and believing every word of our Heavenly Father.
Childlike faith humbles us, throws out every plan or idea of ours.
Luke 18:14-17 “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. [15] And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. [16] But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. [17] Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.”
Childlike faith is humility and humility is childlike faith.
Childlike faith has no plans. Childlike faith is led only by the plans of God.
David expresses his childlike relationship with Our Heavenly Father.
Let’s read:
Psalm 131:1-2 “LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. [2] Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.”
God responds only to faith. Christ asked if He will find not hardworking or honesty when He returns. He asked if He will find faith.
Luke 18:8 “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
And without faith, man has no way of pleading with or pleasing God.
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
It must be a childlike faith to be exalted by God.
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 131:3 “Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.”
The end result of hope is faith.
Hope says I will get it. Faith says I already have it.
We are not hoping to be saved. We are already saved by faith.
We are not hoping to be healed. We are already healed by faith.
Have a childlike faith. BELIEVE and confess Christ our faith as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. God responds to childlike faith, in Christ!
