My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Amy Boucher Pye, AT THIS LINK … tells of a couple being given the opportunity to entertain the Queen of England for tea and the couple’s nervousness in preparation for the visit, … UNTIL they realized that they were also royalty as adopted children of the King of kings.
My fellow Christian friends; … do we realize, as the group Hillsong sings, that we been adopted into the regal family of God? My friends, we are kids of the King of kings. And one day we will sit with our King Jesus in the royal court of God, our Abba Father.
So, … I pray today that we acknowledge wearing the Robes of righteousness placed on us by King Jesus. And therefore, we must shed any feelings of being orphans, under the protection of God’s law. NO, … we need to entertain and receive the grace of our King Jesus everyday … as children of The Living God, … giving our Abba Father the respect and dignity He deserves and serving Him as part of His family.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, King Jesus, … for making me a part of Your family, Lord.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to serve our Abba Father today as adopted children of our King. … Amen
