God Our Father

 Yet, Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and you our potter: we are all the work of your hand - Isaiah 64:7.

             The Lord God is our father and from Him all things exist. And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty - 2 Corinthians 6:18. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” - Galatians 4:6. Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things are and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and through whom we exist - 1 Corinthians 8:6.       

           The Lord our father carried us as a father who carries his son. Then I said to you, “Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place - Deuteronomy 1:29-31. He has compassion on us as a father has compassion on his children. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him - Psalm 103:13.

             Let us thank our heavenly father who loves us and cares us so much. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him - 1 John 3:1. Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? - Matthew 6:26.        

                                                                       

PRAYER: You are our father and we are Your children. We thank You for Your great love, care and compassion on us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
