One of the joys that I've discovered in my first year and a half or so of being a dad, is watching my son take in the world around him. He can be fascinated with the littlest of things. I don't get all that excited every time I see a car, but my son proudly says "car" whenever one's in sight. Likewise, whenever he see's a vehicle with a light on top (fire truck, police car, ambulance, tow truck) he proudly lets us know by saying "woo woo." Of course, there's also excitement with animal crackers, drums, or his pacifier. Anything and everything is a reason to explore and be filled with wonder.
As I've been thinking about my son, I've also thought about what our attitude should be like when it comes to God. Shouldn't we be filled with awe and wonder when we come before God Almighty? After all, we can never exhaust God. Perhaps that's why Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me"? Children don't take things for granted. They get excited with the familiar, and they don't get bored with what they know.
What would life be like for us if we desperately and passionately sought after God? What would life be like if we approached God with child-like wonder? What would life be like if ??? Hey, I know, let's find out.
