FATHER

Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father” (Matthew 6:9), and the Spirit of God taught us to cry, “Abba, Father,” an intimate Aramaic term similar to “Daddy.” The Creator of the universe cares for each one of us.

Romans 8:14-17 ESV – 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs–heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

God, our Father,

What a privilege that we can have a Father! What a grace and mercy. You want to have a personal relationship with Your children. You promise to never leave us nor forsake us.

You are so good, so faithful, so caring.

amen

EL-SHADDAI

“God Almighty,” the God who is all-sufficient and all-bountiful, the source of all blessings.

Psalm 91:1-2 ESV – 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Two sentences, and yet, such truth; such praise and worship.

Most High – Elyon, none higher, none greater

Almighty – Shaddai, none more powerful, none with more resources

LORD – Yehovah, the self-existent, who needs nothing and no one

God – Elohim, the creator who is not created,

Can there be any other response than to fall in worship and reverence to this Almighty God who has done so much for me. . .
