Good afternoon, all you blessed children of God,
This past Tuesday afternoon we welcomed another member to our family. His name is Hershey, and he is a lab-mix puppy my husband found in the middle of the street. By the time I met him he had already been to the groomers where he was washed, dipped, de-ticked, and perfumed. My reaction upon seeing those soulful green eyes for the first time was, “This dog does not yet know how lucky he is to have Jorge for a daddy.”
Jorge has, in fact, been very attentive. Hershey’s food and water bowls are constantly filled, his little bottom has been dutifully wiped every time he goes potty, he sleeps on the bed with us – but mostly snuggled close to Jorge – and I have not heard one complaint about vet bills, heart pill costs, and follow up visit expenses. And this morning, before I left for work, Jorge had already called twice for updates on Hershey, followed by, “He’s so cute,” and “he’s so sweet…”
So much attention for such a small little animal! I wonder, though, if we realize just how much more blessed we are because God is our Daddy?
Psalm 103 provides a peek at a few of the benefits of being God’s child.
· He forgives our sins
· Saves our life
· Crowns us with love and mercy
· Wraps us in goodness and eternal beauty
· He renews our youth
· He does not treat as our sins deserve
· He knows us inside and out
· God makes everything right for us and our children
Another powerful passage from scripture promises us that “God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).”
God generously fills us from His inexhaustible supply until we are full of everything we need to live a blessed life; He is the best Daddy of all!
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You for being the best Dad we could ever hope for. We take You at Your word and open our lives today to receive all that You have to offer. We need it today and every day. In Jesus’ name, AMEN~
