But down the road the population of Israel is going to explode past counting, like sand on the ocean beaches. In the very place where they were once named Nobody, they will be named God’s Somebody.
GALATIANS 4:7 (MSG)
Doesn’t that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child? And if you are a child, you’re also an heir, with complete access to the inheritance.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is eager to upgrade our status with him to beloved children, with all the rights and privileges therein.
DAILY FODDER
The world may snub you but you are somebody to God.
PRAYER
I'm grateful, God, that you welcome me into your family as a child. Forgive me for looking for status from other sources. Help me to live as a content child of God. I'm going to rely on what you offer and that alone. Thanks! 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 wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
