Curious For Christ | Surrender to God, Peace with God, stress free, God in control, Exmo

Description:
In this heartwarming episode of Curious for Christ, I’m joined by a special guest—my 10-year-old daughter, Alexandra. Together, we reflect on a meaningful moment we recently shared that reminded us that God often speaks to us in unexpected ways.
We dive into a story that connected a movie I was writing about and a bedtime Bible reading, showing how God’s presence can intersect our daily lives.
Alexandra also shares her own perspective on God’s involvement in the little moments of life and what it means to trust Him like a child. Join us as we explore how God uses even the smallest details to reveal His love and guidance.
Bible Verses:
1. Matthew 18:3 (NIV): “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” — This verse reminds us of the purity and trust that children have in God, a perspective we adults should learn to embrace.
2. Psalm 19:1 (NIV): “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” — As Alexandra and I discuss the beauty of the stars, we are reminded that God’s creation reflects His majesty and leads us to wonder about the Creator.
3. Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV): “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. — In the midst of our busy lives, God often surprises us with His timing and methods, reminding us that His ways are higher than ours.
Key Takeaways:
1. God speaks through the everyday moments – Sometimes, when we least expect it, God shows up in our daily routines to remind us of His presence and purpose. Don’t miss those divine appointments by being too focused on your own agenda. 2. Trust like a child – Jesus calls us to have childlike faith. Alexandra’s reflections on God’s involvement in our lives remind us that simplicity, trust, and wonder are at the heart of our relationship with Him.
3. God is in the details – From the stars in the sky to bedtime stories with our children, every part of our lives holds meaning when seen through the lens of God’s involvement. He is always speaking, and we must remain open to hearing His voice.
4. Hope in every season – Even when things seem dark, God’s light shines through. Just as the stars are brightest in the darkest night, God’s presence is often clearest in our challenging moments.
