MARCH 9, Galatians 3:26

You are your parents’ child. Since you were born, they have been taking care of your every need. As a baby, you were little and fragile. How could they not respond to your every cry? You needed them and they have always been there for you. Now that you are older and in school, they still care for you. Making sure you have enough to eat and sending you to a good school to receive your education. As long as they are around you, they will continue to care for you! Why do they do what they do? It is simply because you are your parents’ child.

Christians are children of God. Wow! Isn’t it wonderful to know that you are a child of God? The Almighty King of kings! When we believe in Jesus, we belong to Jesus. We can call God ‘Father’ because Jesus also calls God ‘Father’.“...no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save [means ‘except’] the Son, and he [means ‘anyone’] to whomsoever the Son will reveal him” (Matthew 11:27). God loves you and wants to be your Heavenly Father. We can call God ‘Father’ when we believe in Jesus.

The Heavenly Father also cares for His children and provides for you.

Write Matthew 6:28 down and find out how God cares for you:
_______________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________

Through your parents, God gives you food and clothes and things that you need.

You are also weak sometimes. You don’t have strength to fight against temptation and to overcome Satan. Your Heavenly Father will protect you.

God, your Heavenly Father, does so many wonderful things for you, just because you are His child. Like our earthly parents, God will take care of us. But God is the Almighty and, unlike our earthly parents, He can do much more. So dear child, go to Your Heavenly Father today!

Thought: Think of three wonderful things your Heavenly Father has done for you.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me what You are like. Thank You that You are loving and caring. Thank You that I can call You my Father. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
