Daily Butter 8/24: Pweez!

My little addition to Our Daily Bread (8/24/11):

For the Gentile world eagerly seeks all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.

But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided for you. Don't be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights to give you the kingdom. (Luke 12:30-32 HCSB)

As in the midst of my work schedule I’m trying to work out the details regarding the financing for the house which we hope to become our home, this reminder is such a timely reminder for me. I can see and understand that my growing son needs a home where he has the room to run and spread his wings and grow. My Heavenly Father sees and knows that I have concerns and am uncertain of how I will be able to provide for my son’s needs, and just like I find joy giving my son what he needs, it brings my Father joy to take care of mine. I have spent my Christian walk trying to make my Heavenly Father smile, it’s a great reminder that it’s not always about what I “do for the kingdom.” He also finds delight in answering my, “Daddy, I can’t…. Would You, pweez?”

Jesus, however, invited them: "Let the little children come to Me, and don't stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Luke 18:16 HCSB)
