VERSE:
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to
fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry,
"Abba, Father."
-- Romans 8:15

THOUGHT:
God is so holy, so mighty, so awesome, and yet he bids us to
call him "Abba Father." Abba was a term of endearment, familiarity,
dependency, and love used by Jewish toddlers to address their
fathers. God, through the incredible gift of his Holy Spirit in us,
has given us this ultimate gift of availability, love,
companionship, protection, and mighty care. Abba! Sweet Abba
Father! My God, my LORD, the Sovereign ruler of heaven's armies and
Creator of the universe is also my Abba!
PRAYER:
Abba Father, thank you for being so close and yet so mighty, so
accessible and yet so holy, so tender and yet so trustworthy. Thank
you, dear Abba, for allowing me to come to you as your loving
child. In Jesus' name and by the power of the Holy Spirit I pray.
Amen.
