Toys on the Stairs

A woman from my church was telling me about something her daughter had said. The little girl said. " Mommy, make sure to watch out for the toys on the stairs." The woman couldnt figure out what she was talking about and then the little girl said, "The Lord said to watch out for toys on the stairs". Then she realized she meant toils and snares! For one, it had to be the cutest thing I had heard in a long time. But then I began to think about the pure innocence in that statement that she made. Even though it was not the exact words, she saw the danger in the warning we were given.
I think sometimes we, or atleast I, tend to overthink things. Sometimes the Lord's answer to a problem isnt as complex of an answer as we are looking for. Therefore it is overlooked and we think he doesnt answer us at all. I know personally I have done that many times, and then later on I see the answer he had given me and regret not listening. God wouldnt make something so complex for only a genius to figure out. He wants us to trust and love him. Look for the simplicity of the faith in the Lord...Oh, and watch out for the toys on the stairs!
