Father(Abba) 6/10/2023
Daily Devotions: by Christina FarrisGalatians 4:1-10 KJV
1 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Redemption comes not by the law by adoption, but comes by Spirit of his Son who enters your heart and crying Abba Father. When do we receive the Spirit of Christ when Christ knocks on our hearts door and we ask him to come in and open the door of our heart for him to dine with our very soul within us. God created his Son to be made of woman under the law. The law being the world, rulers, dignitaries and so forth of that time and even now. Born to the elements of bondage of this world, from cold air, smoke, rain and fire, storms and pestilents. Some fall asleep in faith turn to the things of this world instead of to God.
We get a headache and we turn to aspirin, where is prayer first. We all do it. Mindset we know how to solve the problem but do we know how to rely on the problem solver of faith and the ability to overcome the trials of our faith. To trust in God to know him without doubt, without question that he is the problem solver of our life. The the things of this world may have solutions, but it does not mean it first was not given by God. Man curiousity and longevity only tells the tale of people that followed in faith in God knowing their solution was not always understood but God solution through prayer was always there. The spiritual answer in faith should be prayer to heavenly Father God. Our second part of faith is what has God provided through science and anything else that might be needed. In Bible times science and medical was still a trade of learning. The knowledge we have today was not the same back then. You almost better hoping for the miracle cure then the remedy that may or may not work by the doctor.
We want spiritual healing and growth we can not turn back to the elements and things of this world for our solution but must continue first in faith and hope in God. Not to turn back to serve the gods that can not speak and can not hear and can not see or know us. God is a God that wants to be known has Father, known, to love and want to adopt us, Wants us to know he had Son to make a way for us to come to him through faith. That the price of sin been paid and bought by his only Son. There no more reason for us not to have peace with God. Peace with our fellowman might be something else but we to have peace with them as well.
Hang on to faith this morning, don't give up on your Heavenly Father, who gave us his Son's Spirit to indwell in our hearts to aid us in our time of need and temptation. That same Spirit is the Holy Spirit. He seals our heart that we are God's child and joint heirs with Jesus.
Dear Heavenly Father, you know our hearts and we love you that you adopt us as your child, even when the world is upside down you have already marked us as one believes in your Son through faith by in your Spirit. Help us not to be tempted by the things of this world that would try and remove you from being on the throne of our hearts where we cry Abba. in jesus precious name, Amen.
