Galatians 4:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his
Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”
The first vocalizations of many babies are the syllables
"ab, ab, ba, ba." Not surprisingly in Jesus' day, that was the name
babies used for their fathers. When God saved us, he gave us his Spirit. The
Holy Spirit blesses us in many ways, but one of the key blessings is his work
with us in prayer. He intercedes for us when words won't do (Romans 8:26-27)
and he helps us approach God with familiarity, dependency, and respect as we
call God our Abba.
Thought for today:
Do I look to God as a father? What is my vision and definition of a father?
