Today we were shopping and got late to pick up our son. We raced to the school expecting to find our little boy desperately crying for someone to come. He was the last kid to be picked up.
When he came in the car I told him how sorry I was. I asked:
- Were you scared?
He said:
- No.
- Why not?
- Papa said he would be here ... I was waiting for him to come.
God spoke to me at that point. The only thing my son needed was the assurance that my husband had promised, therefore he would abide by his promisse. I thought about my own relationship with my Heavenly Father as I wait for Him to do His work in my life and ministry.
1) He said He would: My son felt secure because my husband told him he would pick him up. God gave us so many promises and I have seen them been acomplished over and over again ... and yet, I doubt.
2) He always does what he promises: My son knows my husband. He knows his character. He had similar experiences before and he always came through. Don't I see the hand of God in my life and ministry over and over? ... and yet, I doubt.
3) He was not impatient: My son was just looking around. I do not want to wait for the time of the Lord. I get impatient and frustrated. He WILL come and meet me in my need as He has always done before. Not before, not after, but at the right time. I have seen it ... and yet, I doubt.
Just a little incident and lots of life lessons. God will give the fruit of our labor in due time. I love when God calls my attention and make me reflect on His truth through the eyes of a child.
