Have you ever considered that sometimes our most profound spiritual insights come from the most unexpected sources? In this episode of Starting Right, we explore a touching story of a young father and his four-year-old son at bedtime prayers. When the little boy accidentally reversed the traditional bedtime prayer to say "If I should wake before I die," what seemed like a mistake revealed a powerful truth: God's desire isn't merely for us to make it to heaven someday—it's for us to truly live before we die.
This simple mix-up illuminates the vast difference between merely surviving and genuinely living the abundant life Christ offers. As Jesus declared, "I have come that you might have life and have it to the full." We explore what it means to be "children of light" in a world often dominated by darkness and fear. When others are consumed by anxiety, our peaceful presence becomes a powerful testimony to God's reality.
The childlike wisdom from this bedtime prayer mistake might just transform how you approach each day of your journey with God. Join me tomorrow as we continue discovering how to start our days by starting right.
