Our Father (Part 2) 

3/2/2014

2 Comments

 
 As said previously, when we come to know in our inner most being that God is our real Father, everything changes.  One change is that it simplifies life (I’m sure we all say amen to that).  A second implication of God being Father is that it takes away all fear-the fear of death, fear of sickness, fear of loss, fear of anything. If the God who created the universe is MY Father indeed, what is there to fear? I think about Matt Redman’s song-“If my God is with me, whom then shall I fear…”. I know this may sound simplistic –that’s because it IS simplistic! However, this “simplicity” was made available to us by the death of Jesus. Also, this does not mean that all problems, challenges and trials disappear but it does mean we view these things differently-from a son or daughter of God perspective. The fact is that we are in the school of becoming overcomers in life-not being overcome by life. God, in His infinite wisdom allows AND uses difficulties as tools to help us show us our true identity. Jesus was and is the example. Jesus faced real difficulties but He overcame what was before Him-He KNEW His Father.                                                                                                                                                 

Philippians 3:10   “…that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;…”

Think about: 

Do you have fears that need to go?
Do you live day to day conscience of the fact that God is YOUR Father?

I desire your feedback so find the “comment” section and let me hear from you. Remember, this whole “blog” deal is new to me, so I’m always open for suggestions and I ask you to excuse any errors or typo’s you may see.

I think alot of people, myself included, fear injustice.
The desire for recognition, appreciation and "justice," subconsciously or consciously, drives alot of what we do and how we do it. However, when we don't get the resutls we think we "earned" or "deserved" our motives are reflected in our reactions: If I walk in a real relationship with Jesus, believing he is my real Father, my reactions to set backs and disapointments and "injustice" will look very different than if I operate with "the buck stops with me" mentalitiy- the "I'm in control," or "I create my destiny" type. Unfortunalty, we sometimes don't relaize what mentality we are living under until certain- usually set backs/dissapointments" happen.

Good insight for sure. I think God allows "setbacks" but there is design behind the setback. Without setbacks to overcome, we would never discover that we ARE over-comers. Plus, we can trust our Father even when we don't understand.
