Jeriah

The other day Jacob told Johnnie and me that he had a “friend.” He sleeps with him, prays with him, reads books with him, he has blue eyes, brown hair, and his name is Jeriah. Jacob has mentioned an imaginary friend in the past, but he never gave us this much detail, so I didn’t put much stock into it. But when he told us this friends name I thought it was so unique, so I had to research it. When I googled it, I found that it means “taught by God.” I got chills. Then I looked in my bible and asked around, and it is in the Bible- but it's more so genealogicial information and there isn't that much info- it is in 1 Chronicals 26; proving that he did not learn of this name at school or at church.  Is the Holy Spirit working in the heart of my young three year old little boy? With amazement and praise I will pray to God to continue working in his heart and lead him in the path of the Lord.

And maybe this imaginary friend isn’t much of anything and I’m reading too much into it. But I believe in God and I believe in prayer and I do believe that God will capture a heart at any time he desires no matter what age… I want to dig into scripture right now.
