Someone to Trust
Read: Psalms 16:11; 37:3-7; Matthew 18:2-4
"Look, Daddy!” exclaimed four-year-old Beck as he peered out the airplane
window. “Look! There’s snow down there!”
Beck’s older brother Micah laughed. “That’s not snow. Those are clouds. They just look like snow.”
Dad smiled and nodded. “They look solid, don’t they? Like you could walk right out on them.”
“Yes, but they wouldn’t hold you up!” Micah replied. “If you stepped out on one of those clouds, it would be a giant step down to earth.”
“Maybe the clouds are made of snow!” Beck said.
Micah shook his head. “No. Clouds are just water vapor,” he said in his best big brother tone. “I learned that in science class. They can’t hold anything up.”
“Ohhh,” murmured Beck. Then he had another question. “Why does the plane stay up in the air?”
“The plane is built just right for flying,” said Dad, “and the pilot goes to school to learn how to make it stay up.” Beck seemed satisfied with that explanation and turned back toward the window.
Micah watched his little brother for a moment. “You know what, Dad?” he asked quietly. “Beck believes everything we tell him.”
“That’s because he trusts us to tell him the truth,” said Dad. “It’s too bad, but as we grow older we find there are some people we can’t trust. Many people are trustworthy, but even people we trust may sometimes disappoint us.”
Micah looked out at the clouds moving past the plane. “Last week Pastor Carter said there was someone who would never fail us. He was talking about God.”
Dad nodded. “God has proven Himself to be trustworthy by keeping every promise He has ever made.”
“Like how He promised to send a Savior, and He sent Jesus to die for our sins,” Micah added.
“Exactly,” Dad said. “He’s as solid as a rock and completely trustworthy. Notice how I’m the first person Beck asks when he has a question. Since God is our Father, He wants us to seek His wisdom before anything else.”
“Daddy! What’s that?” Beck pointed at something else outside the window, and Dad and Micah exchanged smiles.
