I love talking to kids because you get a lot of insights from them. For example, I never knew that cats are children of pigs and chickens, or that apples are actually oranges painted red! If I didn't know better, I'd probably believe them as they tell those things with such confidence and gusto. The way they tell it just makes you think they know what they're talking about.
But of course those are out of this world ideas, and I can imagine them lowering their head out of embarrassment while covering their mouths and giggling once they found out what's actually true.
Ironically, most of us keep our "kid mode" when dealing with God. As His children, we tell Him that we entrust our lives to Him, but when He shows us something we don't agree with, we end up being like toddlers who think we know better.
Fortunately, God is the ultimate Father. Despite our stubborness He promises to be with us. The psalmist assures us that even in darkness God is there to hold our hand and guide us.
What a wonderful assurance that is. The only question is are we going to finally let Him do so? Or are we going to be like rebels who run away upon realizing life isn't how they thought it was instead of receiving God's mercy?
