Today,
we are invited by Jesus to place our entire trust in him and in his
heavenly father. Very often, we will not be able to understand the
reasoning behind God’s will. But that’s alright. It only indicates that
we are not God. Our limited minds cannot fully comprehend the will of
the One who is unlimited. Unless we become like little children, docile
and obedient, God’s will remains obscure to us. Jesus reminds us that
God hides these things from the learned and the clever and reveals them
to mere children. This is what trust is all about. A child trusts that
his parents will take care of him and so he is free from worry.
Obedience means trusting.
As long as we insist on our ways, as
long as we refuse to listen to others or refuse to change, we can never
experience the kingdom of God. We must learn to bring down our walls and
defenses. We must let the Lord prune us, so that we would bear even
more fruit. It is only by surrendering to God, will we find our victory.
When we surrender to God’s will, we will also find peace. Obedience
means surrendering to God’s will.
Let us then listen to God.
Let us trust in his goodness. Let us learn humility from Jesus who
humbled himself to accepting death on the cross. Let us surrender
ourselves to God so that we will be remade anew.
