These are the words Barry and I heard a three year old little boy announce to everyone in earshot at lunch today. The excitement in his little voice as he exclaimed to the entire section of starving customers that he SAW God stopped us all mid-chew and had us turning around to look where his little chubby fingers were pointing! It was at a picture on the wall of Christ looking up into the heavens in prayer.
I couldn’t help but smile before i turned around because isn’t that the desire of all our hearts- To see Jesus day-after-day. Do we get as excited as this little boy at the sight of Lord in our days? No wonder the Lord wanted us to have childlike faith. Where we realize we are totally helpless without Him and eternally dependant on Him. We’d all wind up like that little blue-eyed boy. “Did… did ya see that! Did you see God?!”
As the days go by, i’m striving to change what excites me. I want to become a little kid all over again. To learn to trust the Lord in all things and be consciously seeking Him in all the moments of my days. I want to just spend my days hanging out in the presence of the Lord no matter where i am physically.
I believe the Lord used that little boy today to help me focus my desires. Because people are searching as evidenced by the heads turned to see where the boy SAW God. If people weren’t interested in finding Him or knowing Him why did they turn around? My next thought following the turn around was i wonder how many of those people at the other tables were lost people. How many of them need to meet Him? As we know there are a lot of lost people searching… how many of us are telling? We need to be equipped with scripture, able to hear the Lord, and prayed up for Him to speak through us to these searching ones. If we went to Wal-Mart Friday night about 6:30 PM stood down aisle 7 and yelled, “I SEE GOD!” equipped with His Word and prayed up… Who knows we might have a revival in the land!
Matthew 18:1-5 “… Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to Him and put the child among them. Then He said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on My behalf is welcoming Me.”
Time to convert to childlike ways!
What a beautiful story and yes this is how we all should be…searching to see christ in everything!!
