Can you imagine again having not a care in the world? What would it be like to not know of nuclear weapons, politics, devastating natural disasters, or war? A small child has that privilege.
For most very young children, even in the midst of the terrible events of this world, there are no cares. They cannot comprehend evil, famine, earthquake, or war. In the midst of things that would cause our hearts to fail, they might be found playing with a stick or bug.
Paul wrote of God bringing us from point "A" to point "B". ".He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus" (Phil.1:6). As a child of God, you can count on Him to be working in your life and making you into what He wants you to be.
Think about this: if God is indeed in control and nothing can come your way with out passing by Him, can you not also "play" in the midst of disaster? I don't mean take a soccer ball out in the way of a tornado or get your rubber ducky out in the flood. I do mean that we can learn from the very young that there are many things in this life we have no control over. Additionally, Someone else is in charge of taking care of you!
Just try to get a little of the attitude of the toddler. You are being watched over by the Creator and Sustainer of all.
