Lessons from Kids in Church

Kids sit in front of screens entranced, unmoving for hours. But sitting in church is clearly torture from the expressions on their faces and the constant wiggling. The whole ordeal is merely to be endured. In their worldview, church has no value or purpose or reward or payoff.
How often we are just like that in life. We see hardship as something that is only meant to be endured. We squirm and complain and try to distract ourselves until it is mercifully over – oblivious to God’s purposes. It’s a struggle for us to step back and allow ourselves to believe God – He is good, and He has real reasons for everything He permits in the lives of His children.
Like church.
