Theology Lesson From A Three Year Old

Matthew 10:29
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

The other night I was talking to my three year old daughter before she went to bed. For one reason or another she began talking about what God made or didn't make. So, I begin to ask her some catechism questions including, 'Why did God make you and all things?' Her answer was simple, so that He could take care of me.

It may not be the right answer according to the book, but it is an interesting theological point. I enjoy making things, but it is often the care and the upkeep that I enjoy the least. However, God being all knowing, knew exactly what He was getting into when He created us and He still did it. He enjoys taking care of us. He cares for us more than he cares for the least of the animals. It is an amazing display of God's love. And right now, before the ultimate time of judgment, God cares for both the godly and ungodly in his common grace. How much more does He do to take care of His own? May we trust Him more with child like faith.
