Child-like Faith

 

I’m sure you’ve heard it said that we must possess blind faith, but have we been misled?

The Word of God says that “The naive or inexperienced person [is easily misled and] believes every word he hears, But the prudent man [is discreet and astute and] considers well where he is going.” (Proverbs 14:15 AMP).

Blind faith is faith without awareness.

Blind faith is belief without true understanding, misplaced trust.

Too often we have more faith in the devil's ability than in God's ability; believing the father of lies (John 8:44) blinds our faith!

What we need to have is not blind faith but child-like faith, a faith that is strong, and free of lies.

“The truth is, you must accept God’s kingdom like a little child accepts things, or you will never enter it.” (Mark 10:15 ERV)

We need to have a sure belief, and an un-doubting trust, like a child.

Jesus tells us to ONLY believe – believe in the Truth; He is the Truth (John 14:6) and the Truth sets our faith free.

Beloved, focus on Jesus, the Truth, He will open your spiritual eyes, release your faith from the lies that blind, and set you free to have faith like a child.

Amen †
