There are always honest, inquisitive questions that are asked by the sweetest little people at Kid's Club. I love it, because these kids are finding their way to Jesus. This week we were learning about God's Omnipresence. A fantastic second grader raised his hand and asked, "Does that mean God can be in our dreams?"
The answer, I believe, according to Acts 2:17 is yes, as long as we remember Hebrews 4:12, making sure God's Word is the truth we measure any dream or vision with.
What I didn't realize was that this same little boy had reached out last week to one of our awesome volunteers. He needed prayer. He had been having nightmares every night and was afraid to sleep. Of course, she prayed for him, and had then checked in him that evening.
The result? His nightmares had stopped and been replaced with dreams of God beating up the bad guys.
Yay!
Our God is the victor, even when we don't see it or feel it. He is our place of safety, and when we are afraid, we ask him, and he gives us peace.
This little guy knew who to trust: Jesus. He knew, and his God was faithful to answer him.
These kids are world changers! I say that often and I am constantly reminded of it. Our leaders at Akina are world changers too. They repeatedly step into difficult places and help kids seek the Lord. I'm so blessed that this amazing kiddo didn't hesitate to ask for prayer, and that our amazing volunteer so willingly prayed!
As always, be encouraged to seek Jesus. Read His Word as the standard for truth, and ask questions. He will meet you and give His peace, even when you don't understand.
