A THOUGHT TO PONDER! – Faith as a Newborn

In my observations of life, I have come to recognize the kind of faith God wants His children to have in Him as their Heavenly Father is very evident in the faith of a newborn. From the very moment a newborn breathes in its first breath it instantly entrusts itself completely to its mother’s love and care. It has heard and learned its mother’s voice while in the womb and now exhibits that trust by desiring none other but her.
This is a beautiful example of the kind of faith God as our Heavenly Father expects from us. As He is gently speaking to us, drawing us to Himself, we too are hearing His voice and becoming familiar with Him. It is like that baby in the womb hearing its mom; we too find ourselves in the womb being prepared by God’s Spirit to be birthed to new life as He brings us to the place where we come to recognize our need for Christ as our Savior and we give our lives over to Him. It is not anything we do, but the work of God through His Spirit drawing us.

I like the way Paul put it in Ephesians where he wrote these words: “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence” (Ephesians 3:12). The call of God on your life doesn’t stop there though. Throughout your life, His Spirit is continually speaking to you and working in you to build your faith in Him more and more so you may experience more of freedom and confidence to trust Him even more with your life.

BE BLESSED AS YOU TRUST GOD MORE WITH YOUR LIFE AND EXPERIENCE MORE OF HIS GREATNESS IN SO DOING!
