Reading this is like reading a daily devotional, reflecting on the character and presence of God. I need to make sure when I pray I acknowledge and reflect on Who I am praying to. Right now I am hit or miss.
If God wants us to think of Him as our Father, what does that say about our relationship to Him? We can compare that to how we related to our earthly fathers as well. Some of us have better examples than others. But the things that come to mind are that a father: provides, protects, corrects, challenges, instructs, and loves. Even imperfect fathers are proud of their children, not in a sinful sense, but in a sense of enjoyment. A father is most proud when his children respect him and follow in his footsteps or even exceed his own accomplishments. God the Father is all of that in a perfect way. I hope each of you spend time with Him today.
