对今日诗句的想法
我们人类总是试图以“啄食顺序”定义我们的位置。耶稣提醒他的门徒，如果他们真的是他王国的一部分的话，他们要扔掉啄食顺序的日常规则。事实上，他很生气，因为他们拒绝幼儿与他接触，显然是因为这些门徒并不认为小家伙们对得起自己的主的时间，精力和注意力。耶稣，因为他经常把门徒的世俗共同价值观推倒，并提醒他们，如果他们要明白神的王国，那么他们需要比自己认为的要更多地关注幼儿。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Unfortunately, humans seem to always try to define our place in the "pecking order" of life. Jesus reminds his disciples that they have to throw away the everyday rules of the pecking order if they are to be part of his JesuShaped Kingdom. He was angry with them because they denied toddlers access to him, apparently because his disciples didn't deem the little ones worthy of their Master's time, energy, and attention. Jesus, as he so often did, turned their common worldly values upside down and reminded them they needed to pay more attention to the character of toddlers than their sense of self-importance. They would never understand God's Kingdom and live like their Lord if they didn't.
我的祷告
爸爸，谢谢您把我当成孩子一样重视我。因我为寻求你和你的王国而活，请以奇迹，谦卑，敬畏重新唤醒我！以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for valuing me as your child. Re-awaken my sense of wonder, an attitude of humility, and reverential awe of you as I seek to live for you and your Kingdom! I pray in Jesus' name, and to be transformed to become like him. Amen.
