We Are Children Of The Most High

Good Morning!! A little child gains confidence because of his or her identification with a parent. Today, you and I can walk through this world with confidence because of our identification with our Heavenly Father. As sons and daughters of the Most High King, we have the privilege of approaching our Father's throne with the boldest of requests,...and yet, for some reason, (perhaps a false humility) we hang back. In fact, we often act like orphans; afraid to ask for too much, afraid to seem greedy. But the truth is we have a Heavenly Father who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.—Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)

Jesus told us in Matthew 7:11 "If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!" We need to think like the sons and the daughters, of The King. We need to be convinced that God is able to do anything you or I ask,...and that it pleases Him to do so. It would be wrong to give the impression that God is like a rich grandfather with a blank check. Scripture is clear in other places that we need to be seeking God's righteousness, and pray according to His will.

We are princes and princesses,...and it's beneath us to walk around with our heads hung low, desperately seeking confidence and identity, from worldly sources.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for choosing us, and adopting us into Your family. Your love is overwhelming. Teach us to hunger after Your will and Your righteousness. We ask for hearts of boldness and confidence, that comes from knowing our identity lies in being loved by You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

"Always remember this; God's power to restore, is stronger than Satan's power to destroy."
