Open Heaven for Teens 27th April 2021 Devotional MESSAGE
One of the characteristics of children is that they don’t worry about anything. Children are not bothered about what they will eat or wear. This is what our Heavenly Father expects from us His children. He does not want us to worry about tomorrow because He will take care of it.
So, what is bothering you? ls your health failing? Has your parents marriage fallen apart? Are you afraid of a particular person, subject or course?.
Tell God about it now and forget about it. Another good thing about children is that they trust fully. For instance, if I tell any of my little children today, that I will give him or her a private jet as his next 2 Samuel 17:1-29, 2 Samuel 18:1-33, Luke 21:1-38 gift, even if I cannot afford a car now, he or she will believe without any iota of doubt. God expects us to trust Him. He expects us to have faith in Him.
Beloved, faith is an expression of our confidence in God and on His promises. What the prodigal son expressed when he went back home was faith in his father. He was confident that his father would take him back even if it was as a servant. Express this kind of childlike faith as from today and watch God take care of you.
KEY POINT: Have faith like a child, so that God can prove Himself as your Father.
