Psalm 103:10 - 14
Dear brother's and sister's in the Lord, The Lord has been dealing with me for a couple years about what it means to be his son. The Lord has created an order in the natural to mirror things in the spirit. The way an earthly father looks and thinks of his son for example is designed for us to understand how he thinks of us.
Psalm 103 10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Isaiah 55 6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
The thoughts of a small child compared to the thoughts of his adult father are a great comparison to the above verses. If a 3yr old has a favorite toy that is broken, his little world is shaken. His pain and tears are real and we as parents can’t help but feel broken hearted with him. Our heavenly father wants us to know that he feels our pains with us. I truly believe these experiences are by design reflections of the love our heavenly father has for us. How awesome is it that the God of the universe wants us to know that he feels our pains as a father who pities his child! The understanding of how our Father thinks of us, and His thoughts toward us have a lot to do with our ability to seek Him. Understanding how the Lord sees us is only the first step to actually walking in the power of the sonship. It is impossible to seek Him if you don’t believe he hears and cares for you. This again is why it is necessary for us to be INTO the word of God daily, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH.
My prayer for us is that we would, with the rightly divided word, seek Him daily and Ephesians 3: 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.
