We are blessed here at First Baptist. We have an amazing children’s choir. Last Sunday morning, the children helped lead us in worship. With two songs they touched the hearts of all who listened. They did a great job praising God with those two songs. You missed a blessing if you missed Sunday’s service.
The most worshipful moment in the service for me Sunday was not the children’s songs. Nonetheless, it did involve the children. During the Lord’s Prayer, I was lucky enough to be standing beside the children’s choir. As the congregation began to recite the prayer together, I heard the voices of the children. They too were reciting the prayer. I stopped reciting, I stood there, and listened to the children recite all of the words of the prayer. I could tell by their tone that the children were not simply repeating words. They were praying.
Our children’s prayer drove me to my own prayer this week. I am praying that God will bless each of us at church with faith as strong as our children's faith. I am praying that God will help us to worship Him with the same freedom and sincerity our children have. Next Sunday, let’s try to be more like our children.
