o “In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions.” Deuteronomy 32:10-11
I am going to use this teaching to inspire me to continue to obey and strive to discover more about my heavenly Father. I am excited to continue to learn and understand who He is.
The word I have chosen for God this week was Father. I believe that He is my dad in heaven and that he has promised to adopt me and has. I believe that I am His child and am powerful because of it. The Lord can work through me as I continue to have revelation of His love for me. I am His son. I can have a relationship with the Lord of the universe and he wants to meet me and be with me.
I thank my dad for giving me an understanding of a good fathers love because now it is not hard for me to associate God as a Father.
My personal response to all of these teachings is that the theme of God’s love. I am experiencing His desire for relationship with us. I am learning to prepare my heart and mind to except that relationship and grow in it. I thank God that He loves me and wants a personal relationship with me. I am determined and excited to walk with Him.
o “In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them on its pinions.” Deuteronomy 32:10-11
God will always protect me and seek after my love and relationship as His son.
I will dwell upon this and with joy I will live in a way that fits such a promise.
Lord please help me to except your promises daily. To abide with you and learn of your love for me that I would continually show your love to those around me
Amen
