Let wisdom care for you, and get a taste of the Father’s wisdom at Proverbial Thought!
When Jesus was preparing for the cross the night before, while in the garden of Gethsemane, he prayed, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” (Mark 14:36, ESV)
So many preachers and teachers have told us that in His anguish at the thought of suffering through a crucifixion and the separation from the Father He cried out to His Abba, His Daddy. It was the plea of a child to a loving parent, “Daddy, please do not make me! But I will do it because you asked.”
Thanks to His obedience and sacrifice, we, too, can rely on God as our Abba.
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galatians 4:4-7
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 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!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 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.
Romans 8:14-17
Daddy
we are told to pray to our Father
we are told to give Him all the praise
in my attempts to get closer
and to learn more about all His ways
i get closer to knowing my God
and He is more than just Deity
in His very intimate love
i only want to call Him Daddy
and inside of my Daddy s care
seeing just how much He cares for me
knowing He will always be there
i see He really is my Daddy
He is always watching over me
and He wants to watch over you
He wants to cover all of our needs
as Daddy over our lives and souls
