Go Ask Dad

Galatians 3:26
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

We are the children of God. Not by our works or merit, but by faith. By faith we become the sons and daughters of God. And so by faith we call upon our Father for all things.

Do you remember when you were little and walking throughout the toy department? I can remember saving my money from birthday or Christmas cards and looking for something to buy. I couldn't wait until I could get to the store in order to buy what I wanted. I can remember at times not having enough. So I would have to ask for help and mom would say, "Go ask your daddy." I would find him and ask him if he could help me out.

I never came to them and demanded the help or assistance, I knew better. Just because I was their child it didn't mean that I had rights to what they had. It means that they could chose to bless me with what they had because of their love for me. They knew when to bless me with help and when I needed something or not.

So when I talk to my Heavenly Father I speak to Him in a voice of asking and not demanding. I pray for His blessings upon my life because I'm a son and not because of a right that I think I may have. You see because of salvation, and the adoption of God, we have access not rights.

Lord, this morning I want to take time and thank you for your provisions for me. Thank you for your blessings upon my life. When I am short on needing something you have always came in and helped. Thank you also Lord for the things that you have withheld from me cause you knew it would bring harm unto me. I come to you always asking and never demanding. I come to you as a son who has access to the Father's blessings and not as a lawyer demanding rights. Thank you for Loving me and bringing me into your family.
