I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Psalms 108-116.

The psalmist starts the first psalm for today by proclaiming that his heart has confidence in God.  Then in the last of today’s psalms he tells us that God protects those with a childlike faith.  This context gives a great insight into what Jesus meant when He said we needed to be like a child to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  When a child prays for something, they do not put a lot of qualifiers on it.  They believe that God will answer their prayer out of love.  Further, once they have asked for something, they will tell people that God is going to do it.  They are not afraid that perhaps He will not do so.  We should have similar confidence.  Of course, part of that confidence in God comes from striving to live within His will so that we ask for that which serves Him.
