Yesterday my boy had his friend Joseph from church over to spend a day and a night at our home. While they were doing some target shooting in the backyard with the bow and arrows Joseph overshot the target and the arrow was lost. The boys looked everywhere for the arrow scanning with their eyes back and forth over the overgrown lawn. They didn’t see it anywhere.
That’s when my son remembered the happenings at the apple orchard explained in the Blog post entitled, “Does He Really Care? Really?” He decided to pray and intended to repeat my simple prayer. “LORD, you know exactly where it is. Could You please help me find it.” According to him he prayed, “LORD, you know exactly where it is. Could You please help me…” Huh? He stopped mid-sentence and as he looked down into the tall grass he noticed the arrow’s bright feathers just barely peeking through the blades at his feet.
I for one believe it happened just as he said. All you have to do is read the aforementioned post to understand why I believe it. He was ecstatic as he shared his story and I was thrilled that he is learning to trust God for the simple things so early in life.
I have no doubt that in his life. Jesus will be magnified, and he (my son) will be growing increasingly and powerfully humble. “He must increase, and WE must decrease!”
