Devotion - Thursday, February 13

I read from Mark this morning the encounter where Jesus makes a small child the example to emulate.  He says, "Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it".  This is great for kids, but what does it say to adults?

It should say to set aside our continual desire to understand and know all things.  It should say it is okay to allow ourselves to experience something good without dissecting it.  

A child finds themselves happily playing and soaking up life.  A child is not bothered with how this came their way or if it will remain.  A child lives in the moment and rejoices when the moment is good.

There are times and places when we have to be adults.  There are decisions to be made and courses of action to be taken.  Jesus warns us against thinking this is necessary in every moment and every situation.  Sometimes it is okay to simply find ourselves in a good place and to give God thanks for it.
