CHILDLIKE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORD
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11.
The Word of God is trustworthy; it’s living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. God’s desire for us is to be built by the Word; we excel and make progress by the Word.
Jesus said, “…Truly I say to you, unless you… become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all]” (Matthew 18:3 AMPC).
Exhibiting childlike confidence in the Word doesn’t make you gullible or naïve. Rather, it means you’re smart and functioning in the wisdom of God. Many make the Word of non-effect in their own lives because they argue with the Word; they always try to rationalize the Word.
Children don’t try to rationalize things; they simply act from their standpoint of innocence, trusting the one who’s leading, guiding or instructing them. That’s how we ought to be with the Word.
