Learning to Walk.

WHAT affectionate interest and tender care these parents are showing in their tottering babe! How they love to see the first attempts to walk.
The picture reminds us of three beautiful texts of Scripture, “I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.” Hosea 11:33I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. (Hosea 11:3).
“Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.” Psa. 103:1313Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. (Psalm 103:13).
If the Lord spoke thus for the encouragement of His ancient people in Old Testament times, how much more does He care for us whom He has redeemed to Himself by the precious blood of His own beloved Son!
We may be as helpless as babes, but we may trust the love of His heart, and the strength of His almighty arm. “WALK IN LOVE, AS CHRIST ALSO HATH LOVED US.” EPH. 5:22And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Ephesians 5:2)
