FAITH CAPSULE: God alone is a Father God for man but not a god father.
Psalm 8, John 1:1-18,
Jesus is the will of God for us to live and have life abundantly. Jesus is the evidence of God’s caring for man. God is such a caring Father God that is mindful of man. David was flabbergasted by the caring of Father God when he questioned God’s caring as stated, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet.” (Psalm 8:4-6) Truly and indeed God alone created man without assigning any part of man’s body to a contractor. Wonderfully, with care, God alone created man. Psalmist buttressed, “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” (Psalm 139:14) God cares for man to wonderfully made man.
God alone is a Father God for man but not a god father. He is not an authoritarian nor a dictator but a creator. He is a creator whose word is perfect. Father God is the Commanding commander that is fully in charge with goodness and mercy in position for man. God is the Healing healer; He is an Unchanging changer that does not overlook and not care for man. By virtue of His testimonies He has demonstrated many times, He is still demonstrating as a Longsuffering God. Without any iota of doubt, Father God is the only Almighty Creator with loving care for man. The Bible declares in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” God is concerned for man but if man cannot concur with His concern for man, condemnation will answer for man.
God cares so much for man to live life more abundantly. Jesus clearly stated when He declared to us, “…I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Are you aware of God’s care for you? How are you living in order to have the life that He has come to give? From today, know it and begin to live according to the will of Father God; the Lord of Host; the Ancient of days and the only God that inhabits eternity. Jesus is the will of God for man. To live according to His will is to fear Him. To fear God is to live by every word of God. Before the presence of the caring Father God, man should live life abundantly in the will of Father God with commitment to His word.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God to live life fully in His will.
