KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 11:25 “At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.”

Babies are the kind of people most of us would not want to become again. The Lord says in our key scripture that God hides the mysteries of the kingdom from the prudent but reveals them to little children or babies. The kingdom of God, according to the Lord Jesus, is for those who would be like babies. (Matt 19:14)A baby in the hand of his or her mother is the most stress-free person on the earth. He does not think about what to eat, his health is not a bother to him, and when he is in the arms of the mother he does not consider whether the mother would be able to carry him or not. The baby will sleep, taking no thought about anything. They always enjoy the best care and provision given to them.

God wants all his children to be like babies in His hands. The thoughts and ways of God are far and beyond man’s ways (Isaiah 55:9-10). The Bible reveals that God takes the things that are weak and those that are not to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). The prudent or the wise of this world can not relate with and enjoy God.

In our day-to-day lives, we just decide to be a baby in the arms of God. Allow the Holy Spirit to provide your daily needs as you trust and depend on him. King David said,’ The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want.’ Do you have any peculiar challenges? No condition comes along with worry or fear. Worry, fear, or stress are always reactions of people to the situations they face. Don’t allow it to be like a mountain before you. Babies believe their parents are too capable to handle any situation. ( Well in fact babies do not reason as I’m trying to say, yet symbolically their actions reveal that they fully trust the strength, and wisdom of their parents to see them through).

Dear brother or sister, decide to live a stress-free life, enjoying your moments in the comfort of the father’s mighty hands. There is nothing you cannot have. There is no protection you cannot enjoy and there is no answer to prayer you would not have if you would become a baby in God’s hands. He has consistently proven to be a very reliable father. Our greatest barrier to enjoying Him is our natural reasoning How can we overcome our instincts to reason up God’s ways? Anytime your mind starts analyzing God’s ways please speak to your mind to stop and align with God’s way, tell yourself that reasoning would take you away from God’s way. (Note I am only talking about being stress-free).

CONFESSION

I trust my life into God’s hands as a baby does. I have no worries or fears of any form. I rest fully in Him.
