Who shall I say sent me? I Am that I Am...

My children have fallen in love with one of the most known stories in the Bible, that of Moses. Often times I hear them debating back and forth who will be Moses and who will be Pharaoh!
Having become a mommy almost 4 years ago, I've developed a greater understanding of what Jesus meant when He talked about coming to believe with a faith like that of a little child. When you're child is standing on a table or something of that nature and you tell them to jump off, that you will catch them, in most cases they will not even hesitate for a second. They believe you when you say that you are going to catch them. And why shouldn't they? You are their parent, right? You do look out for their best interests, right? So why is it that when we read throughout the scriptures where promises are made like, "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory." we still second guess Him?
What difference would it make if we trusted INSTANTLY when our heavenly Father leads in one direction or another. When it becomes so blatantly obvious that He is directing this way and/or that. What impact would be seen in our spiritual lives if we came to Him with the faith of a child at all times?

In parenting, you learn so much about yourself that you never in all your life realized! You develop a greater understanding of what mercy, grace, love etc really are. You begin to experience true sacrifice and what it means to become totally self-less. In the same way that one would spurn their child in the right direction, our Father God does the same through the Holy Spirit. Maybe its time that we stop debating or attempting to manipulate our way out of a situation, like Moses tried to do, and trust that the Lord is all knowing in what He's wanting from us. Resting assured that every promise and word given in the Bible will ring true. Remember what God told Moses when he asked, "Whom shall I say sent me?"
"I Am that I Am"
