We are blessed to a have a small but wonderful group from Nebraska here. We were having a devotional with them and their youth minister, Phil, after reading the story of Moses and the scripture that says something like "God will fight for you" asked the question "do you ever feel like God is fighting for you?" A few kids gave some answers like "When I am scared" or "everyday." One little boy, raises his hand and patiently waits to be called on. Now this little boy is everything little sounds like. He is six and slightly undersized for his age. When he falls down, something obviously was broken because he lets out a death scream. He doesn't ever really seem to be paying attention but is very age appropriate, all of five years old. Okay, now back to the devotional. A few other kids throw out a few more answers while this little boy continues to raise his hand. Finally, one of my coworkers says "He has something to say" and points at this little boy. Phil says "Okay, go ahead." The little boy looks up at Phil and says "When your daddy is fighting with your mommy."
As if that wasn't enough, when Phil asked for one last song suggestion, this same little boy says "Nothing but the blood of Jesus."
Mark 10:15 "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
