Luke 18:17 [17] Truly, I say to you, whoever does not [t]receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” For God’s sake, don’t grow up! Every parent wants their child to grow up and mature and become responsible adults. God does, too. He wants his children to mature (Eph. 4:14; Col. 1:29; Jas. 1:1-2; Heb. 5:12-14).
But there’s one area that God doesn’t want his children to grow up (figuratively speaking). In our trust, God wants us to remain like children because children trust easily. Without such child-like trust, it is impossible to please God.
Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus, exemplifies this kind of child-like trust. Luke 1:38 says, “…let it be to me according to your word.” May we exemplify this kind of child-like trust in our lives, taking God at his Word, and believing everything he has said.
