Matthew 11:25-26 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your gracious will. God the Father does not work as the world works. When picking sports teams on a playground the strongest, fastest, and most skilled individuals get picked first. In contrast, God chose David to face Goliath. 1 Samuel 17:37 is part of Davids response to King Saul, who is reluctant to send David against Goliath, The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Living for God is not about proving your own strength, it is living life counting on Gods strength. Gods heart is revealed in this great reversal, and I think Jesus said it best when He said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:14 NKJV) This is the child-like faith that we need.
