Like a good father, GOD oozes with compassion for those who revere him.
MATTHEW 7:11 (NLT)
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Live as though you expect your heavenly Father to treat you right.
DAILY FODDER
How is it that we've come to think of God as some kind of cosmic cop looking for ways to bust us, rather than as the ultimate loving father looking out for us?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, it is an honor to call you "Father." And you are definitely worthy of all honor. I confess that in my attempts to live an autonomous life I've at times seen your loving attention as over-bearing. But this isn't accurate. Help me to see everything in life through the lense of your love. I'm going to revere and honor you as the world's best Father. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil. Amen!
