In the Old Testament, there are many worthwhile and powerful stories to help us in our daily walk of faith.  One of my favorite portions of Bible history is the story of young Samuel.

I won't rob you of the pleasure of reading the whole thing for yourself.  But I will mention that Samuel learned as a small boy that God does not just talk to old men and women.  The Lord chose to reveal some very important things about Himself and His will to Samuel. 

God will share Himself with anyone who is willing to spend time with Him.  He is not just interested in people who are serious seminary students or who are full-time ministers.  God loves all people and He will share His thoughts with any human being.

Jesus was saying something similar when He told the disciples not to keep the small children from coming to Him.  God has time for children.  In fact, Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as small children.  On the other hand, He told Nicodemus (a religious leader of those days) that he was unable to even see the kingdom, much less enter into it.
