The Wisdom Of Little Children

Jonathan Cahn shares on the Wisdom of Children and How we must remain childlike to be near to God.

Trust in God and Embrace His Renewing Love

Your life will only be complete when you are in heaven. You don’t have to figure everything out—simply trust, relax, and know that God loves you. He has given you His Word, and He will never leave you. He is leading you, working all things together for good.

In the book of Acts, we see that everyone was filled with awe as they experienced God’s presence. They were blessed because they were filled with His Spirit. The Bible also tells us that His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). This means we must receive His mercy as something fresh and new each day.

It’s not enough to have known His mercy once. Instead, every morning should feel like the first time—like the moment you were saved. Every day should bring fresh gratitude, a new awareness of His love and forgiveness. Never take His grace for granted, or you may lose sight of its power. Instead, come before God with the heart of a child, and He will fill you with even greater strength.

Jesus said, “Behold, I am making all things new” (Revelation 21:5). If you are His child, you must live in that renewal.

The Wisdom of a Child

Little children instinctively know they need help. They bring things to their parents—whether it’s a toy they can’t open or something they don’t understand—because they recognize their dependence. As adults, we often try to do everything on our own, even in our spiritual lives. We struggle to be “good enough” in our own strength.

But the wisdom of a child teaches us an important truth: we cannot do anything without God. Stop trying to accomplish what He has called you to do by yourself. Instead, do it with Him. The Christian life is not about trying harder—it’s about surrendering and allowing God to work through you.

The Bible speaks of working “with” God (1 Corinthians 3:9). The Greek word synergos means “co-working”—we are meant to work alongside Him, moving in His strength, not our own. Everything good comes from Him, but He desires to work through us.
