Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Let the Children ComeMark 10:14
No. 348
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."Mark 10:14

Jesus was indignant when His disciples pushed the children away. The children weren't a distraction — they were the lesson. The kingdom belongs to those who come like a child: trusting, dependent, unimpressed with their own resume.

Reflect

In what ways has adulthood made you less childlike in your faith — more skeptical, more self-reliant, less simply trusting?

Prayer

Jesus, restore my childlike faith. Let me come to You simply, trusting, without the complexity I've added. Amen.
