the kingdom of god is like...
the shoelaces of a child.
the shoelaces of a child.
The kingdom of God is like the shoelaces of a child. Once a child has learned to tie their own shoes, it is their responsibility to keep them tied (see Colossians 2:6). If they refuse that responsibility and trip over their own laces, then they are reaping the consequences of what they have sown (see James 4:17).
It's ver intersting though isn't it, watching a child and their shoelaces? There seems to be a two-fold process. The first is learning to tie the shoes. The second is learning how to keep them tied. Learning to tie them is not enough, is it? (see Philippians 3:12-14). Some children learn more quickly than others. Some children have to experience some significant falls before they embrace the importance of keeping those laces tied (see Jeremiah 2:5).
How long will a good paren take to teach their child how to tie their shoes? Right...as long as it takes. Some learn sooner. Some learn later. What's most important is that they learn. Walking is at best awkward in untied shoes. Running and climbing are virtually impossible.
Such is the kingdom of God.
