Two nights ago when I was putting my 2 year old son to bed, he made one of those deeply profound but extremely simple statements. The conversation went something like this:
Son: I scare.
Mommy: What are you scared of?
Son: Hear dat noise?
Mommy: It's just your house.
Son: Hear dat airplane?
Mommy: It's just your neighborhood.
Son: I scare.
Mommy: Jesus will take care of you.
Son: All right. (He closed his eyes and went to sleep.)
I almost cried when I realized the absolute confidence of his faith and then it dawned on me, I could feel that confidence, too. As adults, we often try to fix our problems ourselves but God says "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28 NKJV). When trials come into our lives, we really can just say "all right" and rest. God will take care of us.
