Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Over the last two weeks, we have been blessed to read a number of Scriptures that speak of the Spirit's work in our lives. Over the last several days, we've celebrated being God's beloved children, with all the rights of the oldest son, full heirs of our Father's inheritance. The two concepts come together today in our verse in one glorious declaration: we are God's "sons," his children with full inheritance rights. It doesn't matter if we are men or women, young or old. It doesn't matter our race. Because of the Holy Spirit's work and presence in our lives, we are his children, rightful heirs. We have not only been given grace, but we also live as his children and enjoy the blessings of his eternal family.

My Prayer...

Dear Father in Heaven, may your name be recognized as holy in my life as your child. May your will and your reign be known in my life just as the hosts of heaven honor it. Father, I am confident that you will give me the food I need today, and I thank you. Please forgive me of my sin as I commit to forgiving those who sin against me. You are glorious, dear Father. Your Kingdom is eternal and is the goal of my heart. Your power is my source of strength. I love you, dear Father. In Jesus' name, I pray and praise you as your beloved child. Amen.
