Good day everyone and praise the Lord for another day and another chance to grow in our knowledge of Him. We are getting the second course of yesterday’s meal so get ready!
TODAY’S PRAYER
(Make this personal)
Father, in this new year ahead, let me not forget that a song isn’t my song until I sing it, my joy isn’t complete unless I can share it, and my love isn’t real love until I give it away! Oh Lord, help me to see that it is in giving that I receive … that if I try to keep everything to myself I will smother both Your light and mine. Help me, Lord, to remember these things and to let others see You through me. In the matchless name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
Son-Ship (Part 2)
Yesterday we learned the Greek word “Teknon” which means “begotten ones” and today we will learn about the word “Whyos” which means “sons” now let’s go to the following scriptures:
Galatians 3:26 –
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 4:6-7 –
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir.
Romans 8:14-19 –
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are.
Hebrews 12:5 –
And have you forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you as his children? He said, “My child, don’t make light of the LORD’s discipline, and don’t give up when he corrects you.
Hebrews 12:7-8 –
As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
“If I am a son of God, nothing but God will satisfy my soul; no amount of comfort, no amount of ease, no amount of pleasure, will give me peace or rest. If I had the full cup of all the world’s joys held up to me, and could drain it to the dregs, I should still remain thirsty if I had not God.”
