Father's Heart (C)

Earth fathers love their children

How about Heavenly Father?

Read: Psalm 41: 3, 89: 26; Romans 8: 14-17;

Psalm 103: 13; Lamentation 3: 22-23

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

Psalm 103: 13



        This morning, I got news from my dearest friend daughter Gini, her father has passed away in the evening. They are my family in Rio Hondo in Guatemala for nine months. I am so shocked for this news. My tears came down automatically. Curtis is die of Cancers, he is 51 years old and successful in business and he was also PFM (People For Missions) Guatemala director. But I still believe that he has gone to better life with Jesus.

       Today, we will continue to study the topic of Father's Heart.

(6)  Restore health. (Psalm 41: 3)

        "The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness." Our Father will sustain sick people in bed and restore them from all sicknesses. You are our God who heals us in Body, Soul and Spirit in the Name of Jesus! Amen!

(7)  My Father adopts us.

        In Psalm 89: 26 said, "He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the Rock, my Savior.'" Our father is a good Father who knows us, He is my God, the Rock (strong tower), our Savior.

        Romans 8: 14-17 said, "Because those who are led by the Spirit of God are Son of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship (adoption) and by him we cry, "Abba (Father), Father." Then "The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs. Heirs of God and c0-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings, in order that we may also share in his glory."

       When we read the verses above, we understand we received the spirit of sonship by adoption and we cry, "Abba, Father." The spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, we are also heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (Jesus). So we share in his sufferings, in order that we may also share in his glory. Wow! our Heavenly Father adopts us into his family and c0-heirs with Jesus. How's wonderful for this good news?

(8)  Fear God - compassion and faithfulness.

        In Psalm 103: 13 said, "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him."  And then Lamentation 3: 22-23 said, "His compassion fall not. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

          Above two verses, our earth father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him, fear him is stand for doing a way that God wants you to do it or act it.  We are the worshipers who worship God in truth and Spirit. (John 4: 23-24) And then Father's compassion fall not. They are new very morning; great is Father's faithfulness. 

         Tomorrow will continue with Father's Heart. See you and May God bless you!

               

      We are Favor of God, because we are God's children and co-heir with Christ.
