1 Chr. 16
Psalms 106
Matt. 19

S-Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” 15 And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left.

O- How incredible is it that Jesus let even the little ones come to him! Even though the adults had little care for these children. Jesus still cared and then took it to another level to say that the Kindgdom of Heaven belongs to those who are "like these children'!!!

A- First of all how do we be like those children? We run to the feet of Jesus. We begin to increase our faith. When you think about children when you tell them something they belive you. As adults we read and are told so much about Jesus but do we really beleive it? When we have even the slightest problem do we ask Jesus for help? Do we run to Jesus like these children did?? We may have obstacles in life. Just like the Children did, the adults didn't want to waste Jesus time with these children yet they still ran and Jesus stood with his arms open. When the did have oposition Jesus stood into help them! Let us get into the mindset to run to Jesus and when opposition presents itself that we pray and ask for Jesus help!

P-Dear Jesus, I pray that I never become a hinderance to you as these adults did by trying to stop the children from running to you! Lord help me to be supportive of people in their walks with you wherever they may be and let me be an encouragment that aids in them running to your feet! Also I pray that I begin to rely on you like never before and that when opposition knocks and my door that I turn it over to you! And that you pull me through! Just like you pulled these children through the opposition that these adults presented that you will pull me through any oposition that I face. Thank you so much for everything you are! That you hear each word I cry and that your love never fails! Through all the troubles and times of tribulation in my life that you have NEVER let me down! In Jesus name. Amen.
