Preferring the Child

Any master of a trade will tell you, it is better to train up an ignorant young man as your apprentice, then to expect obedience from a man who thinks he has already accomplished your trade.

Why has God chosen the weak, the outcast, the wicked, and the sinful to become a part of his Holy Kingdom?  Because they will not put themselves first.  They will never spit in the face of his teaching.  And they will love him with a blazing heart of faith.

It isn’t any more complicated than that.  If you want to serve the Sovereign God in Christ, you have to become like a child.

Here. Have an ear.

I got ears.  So how come I don’t hear so well? 

I got eyes but all I see is mud. 

I thought I had learned that good things are within my reach.  

So how come my hands are empty with riches of this world? 

Here comes Jesus, the Glorious One who is called “The Ancient of Days”.

In His hand are two ears and two eyes.  How strange, I thought, that these should be in His hand.

He said when He returned His reward would be with Him.  But ears and eyes?

“Here, put these on and follow me”.  OH WOW!  What a difference!  Now I both hear and see!

By His Grace.
