Rest In Him

We have all had human fathers who disciplined us. . . . But God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.
Hebrews 12: 9–10

You have a Father who loves, protects, and provides for you. Regardless of how your earthly dad treated you, your heavenly Father never fails you and He would never reject you. This is because through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, you’ve been permanently adopted into God’s household and have been given the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of His love forever (Ephesians 1: 13– 14).

Truly understanding how wonderful this is may require a shift in your thinking and the removal of strongholds in your life. So your wise and merciful heavenly Father allows you to experience circumstances that reveal His faultless character to you, demonstrate the depth of His love, and help you trust Him more.

So today, embrace that He is your Father. In whatever you face, look to Him to teach you and be assured you remain in the center of His perfect provision and love no matter what happens.

Father, thank You for adopting me into Your family. Help me learn all it means to be Your beloved child, amen.

In His Presence. . . rest with confidence.

EVERY DAY IN HIS PRESENCE, CHARLES F. STANLEY
