Question of the Day: What is one thing you have learned from an adult?
Read about It
Read: Romans 8:14–17
One of the really cool things about God is that He is our Father. The word Abba in our Scripture reading means “father.” When a little kid sees their dad, they lift up their arms because they want to be picked up. They want to be picked up because they find comfort in his arms, and they feel safe. This is an important part of how God wants us to see Him.
God is our Protector, and we can follow Him. We can trust in who He is and that He has called us His own. He has promised that He will always be with His children, and that we can turn to Him no matter what. The Holy Spirit can help teach us to become more and more like God every day. Just as a child learns and grows by what their dad teaches, we can learn and grow by what our Father teaches us through the Holy Spirit.
