Children at Play.

Listen from:
DO you remember any verse in the Bible, that speaks about boys and girls at play? I can tell you of one which says: “The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.” Zech. 8:55And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. (Zechariah 8:5). This city is Jerusalem, which will then be the grandest city in the world, when the Lord Jesus will be King over all the earth, and this will indeed be a happy time, for even the children will know the Lord, as we read: “They shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord.” Jer. 31:3636If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. (Jeremiah 31:36).
And this, dear children, is the only way for you to be truly happy, to know Jesus as your Saviour, who died for your sins; and then, though we might think that He is too high and holy to care for the pleasures of children, yet you may be sure He is always looking down upon you in love, and He cares for you in even the least things that concern you. The Scripture says, “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?” Matt. 6:2626Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (Matthew 6:26). And again another Scripture,
“THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED.” Matt. 10:3030But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Matthew 10:30).
