A couple from our church has a two-year old son. One day last week, the little one came down with a awful cough and started running a fever. His mother gave him some over-the-counter medicine and put him down for a nap, then called the doctor’s office to make an appointment. When the kid awoke, he looked up at his mom and said, “Me sick. Me go to doctor.”
A child’s awareness is so absorbed in his mother that although he is not consciously thinking of her, when a problem arises, the abiding relationship is with the mother.
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for his Highest
Where do big people naturally turn in a crisis?
When I am spiritually stymied, and maybe my fellowship with God is strained, do I wake up from a metaphorical nap saying, “David sick. David talk to God?”
Frankly, I’m more likely to keep struggling on my own–at least for the time being.
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts you double-minded.
James 4:8 (NIV)
Kind reader, if there’s distance or a disconnect between us and God, we’d best go to Him–before He comes looking for us!
Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 3:7a (ESV)
