SCRIPTURE
Galatians 4: 6 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba,[a] Father." 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
OBSERVATION
I love to read this scripture because not only is God calling us to be his sons, but we have the Spirit of his Son. This is an incredible look into how God views me. The King of Kings views me as a prince! He has chosen me to be in his royal family (1 Peter 2:9). This scripture brings to mind the story of Joseph. Not only was Joseph sold into slavery, but he was also a prisoner at one time. God makes a way for Joseph to become the ruler of the Egyptian Empire and live in royalty with the Pharoh. The same story line is seen through out the Bible. Moses is another great example of how God loves to take people who are in slavery and set them free. Not only, does he want to free us, but he wants to adopt us and make us his own. I believe that God has done this for me. I am nothing with out him! I was a slave to sin and this world and now I am an Heir to his Kingdom! My Father loves to bring people from rags to riches!
APPLICATION
I believe that every day I have the priveledge of meeting with the King. My father is an awsome God. Sometimes I say to myself I am to busy to pray or talk to my father, thats when the Holy Spirit brings back to my attention that I have a divine appointment with the King everyday and all I need to do is call out Aba Father. He is never faraway and he is everywhere! Today, we can talk with people across the globe at any given time or chat with people on the internet who live across the United States. For us, it is so easy to forget that people in the past did not have the technology like we do today, yet they found a way to stay in touch! I have the ability to talk to my father at anytime of the day, and all I have to do is bow my head in prayer.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord, for making me your son. I pray that we will be able to spend some time this weekend. Forgive me for getting so caught up in the things of this world. I just want to please you and make you smile. I know you understand that sometimes I get really busy but I am so glad that I can call you anytime. Thanks for making me your favorite son. I know that others think they are your favorite as well! I pray that people who are reading this blog, will relize that
you are a great God and you have room in your heart for all of us!
