The Lord Jesus taught us that when we pray, we are to begin by saying, “Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed by Thy Name.”
Our Father is our source. He is loving and kind. When we mess up, He rebukes us so that we can return to the correct path. He has given us an eternal inheritance. He in invested in our lives and future, and has made provisions for both today and in eternity. Part of His love to us is that He has given us earthly fathers, both natural and spiritual that can also guide us to a better future. Fathers that can allow God to love us through them. They are imperfect, but with God’s help, they can be a reflection of Father God’s heart. To all fathers out there, both natural and spiritual, I celebrate you in this very special day. Happy Father’s Day!
Romans 1:17 ((b) ….Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Scriptures reveal that God desires that we prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. In Deuteronomy 8:18 He declares: “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day”. Psalms 1:3 declares: man that delights in the Lord and meditates on His word day and night will prosper in whatever he does. The key here is the consistent application of God’s word and principles in ones life. There is a grace to prosper in your life if you choose to receive it and walk in it. The analogy of a tree planted by the rivers of water give the picture of one remaining close to God and His word. Because of this practice, you will always have all the wisdom, provision, strength and health that you need to accomplish all the He calls you to do. If you haven’t yet, begin now to plant yourself right next to the rivers of God’s word and wisdom.
Psalms 1:3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
