Faith, Not Behavior Like A Child

Faith, Not Behavior Like A Child

Years ago Jars of Clay had a song titled “Like A Child.” The song says, “they say that I can walk on water if I would follow and believe with faith like a child.” 

The combination of that song and this passage serve as a reminder that we are to have faith like a child, not the behavior of a child. That means when God does not do what we want how we want it, we are not to have a tantrum because we did not get our way. We must behave, in those moments, like a mature adult. 

If we are not careful, we can easily make mistakes in this area. Seek God today and ask Him to show you areas in your life where you have confused childlike behavior for childlike faith. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

1 Corinthians 13:11

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
