| Listen Like a Child |
|
V: This morning¡¯s Power for Today author compares airplane pilots to children.
D: Really? How does he do that?
V: He says that the pilots in the ¡°cockpit¡± (the very front of the plane) have no ¡°beef¡± (or arguments) with the ground observers.
D: Boy, I think that if they did, all the passengers would be in trouble.
V: Exactly. So whatever the ground observers tell the pilot to do, he will ¡°heed¡± (or obey it).
D: Yes. I hope so. And they should continue to listen to the communication from the ground for the whole ¡°duration¡± (or length) of the flight.
V: Absolutely. From the time the plane is taking off, as the pilot is ¡°nosing the craft heavenward¡± to the time the plane lands, he should be listening and following instructions.
D: So how does this relate to children.
V: Well, the author says that the kingdom of God must be received with childlike humility.
D: So, if God instructs us to do something, we should listen with a humble heart.
V: That is how young Timothy received truth from his mother, Eunice and grandmother, Lois.
D: But Timothy not only listened, he also obeyed.
V: Yes, he did. So, the author says that we need to ¡°aim¡± our lives at God. This means that we need to point our lives in God¡¯s direction.
D: The last sentence in today¡¯s reading is a powerful one. It reads, ¡°It is hard for a ¡®superior¡¯ person to be used of God.¡±
V: The use of the phrase ¡°superior person¡± here means the opposite of a humble person.
D: Well, today, let¡¯s humbly listen and follow wherever the Lord takes us.
V: I think you¡¯re about to start a great day. |
