"Your Father knows what you need before you ask him." (Matthew 6: 8).
Tuesday in the 1st Week of Lent, Day 7 of 40 of Lent 2018. Consider these truths of the Christian faith:
+ God knows everything.
+ God is able
+ God is willing
+ God is your Father
+ The Father knows exactly what we need and when we need it.
Why does this matter? Because eternal life is knowing the Father, the One true God and Jesus Christ His Only Son. (John 17: 3).
"Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." (Hebrews 4: 16).
How about a little self-talk like this:
#1. I believe that You are a Father to me at every moment of my life, and that I am Your Child!
I believe that You love me with an infinite love!
#2. I believe that You are watching over me night and day and that not a hair falls from my head without Your permission!
#3. I believe that, in Your infinite Wisdom, You know better than I what is good for me.
I believe that, in Your infinite power, You can bring good even out of evil.
Abba Father, grant us through the discipline of Lent that we may learn to moderate our earthly desires and learn to love the things of heaven. Amen.
