David and Goliath
What an awesome sight to see and a great reminder to us of
how we should approach God. Mark 10:14-15 says “But when Jesus saw it, He was
indigent and said to them, “Let the children come to me, do not hinder them,
for to such belongs the Kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not
receive the Kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” We traveled to a
near by school to tell and act out the story of David and Goliath. Entering the
school we had to step over a huge pile of slippers! It filled us with
excitement knowing that we were at a public school about to tell over 50 kids
about God. We had never seen such excitement over a Bible story in our lives. Not
only were the kids excited to learn about David and Goliath, they couldn't wait
to go tell their mama and papa about what they heard. This should be our
mindset and reaction about the Word of God! We get stuck in the rut of going
through the motions when it comes to reading God’s Word. We are all guilty of
it. But what better way to be reminded of how happy and excited we should be to
learn more about God than from God’s little children.
