“Trust Like a Child” does not mean blissful disregard of who should be trusted, but means as a child would trust and respond to a consistent loving and secure relationship with the Living God… no fear, doubt or cynicism, when grace and peace are confirmed in kindness.
There is great personal danger in stubbornly trusting in ideologies or ancient cultures, which are devoid of God’s Grace to Save. Often this leads to a place of despair, where hopes and dreams are ruined.
Foolish thoughts and actions of a naïve, stubborn child are grounded in untrustworthy feelings and emotions in which, there is no stable foundation of Truth. A steadfast child though, who trusts in the Living God, receives wisdom, understanding, and protection in life on Earth and eternally beyond. This child is free indeed. |
