"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26)
Do we know how to be children of our Father in heaven? Jesus says that birds do. He says that lilies do, too. Yet we, who are of greater value in God's eyes, have a difficult time being children of God. We are anxious, distrusting, thankless, busy - all because we don't trust our Father in heaven. Jesus patiently reminds us of how great a Father we have. He speaks to us in words we can understand. He wants us to know that we now have a Father unlike any we have known. But we have to learn how to become trusting children of our Father. It's not a one-way relationship.
1. When did you last think of God as your Father?
2. What do you think of when you remember God as your Father? Are these the things Jesus says about him, or are the influenced by your earthly father?
3. How would your day be different if you were as confident and secure in God your Father as Jesus says you should be?
