Prayer:
Isaiah 64:4, 8
For since the world began, no ear has heard,
and no eye has seen a God like You,
who works for those who wait for Him!
And yet, LORD, you are our Father.
We are the clay, and You are the potter.
We are all formed by Your hand. (NLT)
Observation:
We can choose to believe it or not, but the LORD Almighty is the God and Creator of everything that exists. And unlike everything else that He has made, our God specially created us as His children by breathing the Spirit of life into our souls (Genesis 2:7).
Although God chose Abraham to father the nation of Israel to be His people (Genesis 17:5), we are all children of the Sovereign God who takes a personal interest in every person that He forms with His hands. Our God has always been and always will be a relational being. And because He is a Father who does what is best for His children, He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to be the Perfect Sacrificial Lamb, so that all believers, both Jewish and Gentile, can share in the inheritance He has promised.
Application:
We have, my friends, a majestic Father in Heaven who has created a universe so big that it will take an eternity to discover it all. We have a God who is unlike any other god, for His Spirit is alive in everyone who calls Him “Abba” and because of His great love for us; He has chosen to share the glory of His inheritance with His children. (Romans 8:15-17).
Prayer:
Thank you, LORD God, for adopting me into Your family so that I can share in the inheritance of Your Son, Christ Jesus. At times I feel so unworthy to be called Your son, but because of Your abundant grace and mercy I can accept Your forgiveness and put my hope in You.
