Ever since I read the book "Heaven is for Real" I've been seriously thinking about what Jesus said about having "faith like a child".
Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."
-Luke 18:17
However, during dinner while my son was physically dissatisfied with what I made for him I realized something. I'm sure when God asks me to do something or directs me in a direction that I don't want to do, I act exactly like my son. I'm sure I throw temper tantrums screaming, "No, no I don't want to" or "but why do I have to". Sure we might be tired when God asks us to do something but He expects us to obey Him, after all, He first loved us.
I can't expect my son to obey me without first obeying my heavenly Father. I must be the example otherwise I'm just a dictator.
And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God and obey him.”
-Joshua 24:24
