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)
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.
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 also 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).
Truth That Speaks To My Heart
You are My child…and I love you as if you were My only one. There is nothing that can separate my love from you. I formed you in your mother’s womb, making each cell that became who you are. You are as unique as you are special. I have provided everything that you will need to live in this life as well as in the next. So never doubt, my child, for I Am who I say I Am, and by believing in this, you will share in the inheritance that has been set aside for you alone.
Genesis 2:7
Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground.
He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man
became a living person. (NLT)
Genesis 17:5, 7
“What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram; now you will be known as Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations.
I will continue this everlasting covenant between us, generation after generation. It will continue between me and your offspring forever. And I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. (NLT)
Romans 8:15-17
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry our, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
