Sons of God
I talked in yesterday’s bread about how God our Father sees us as His sons and daughters. The Lord has been showing me that not only does He love us and want us to know He loves us as sons and daughters, but He also has made us, and all of creation for a purpose. If you look at the many stories we have in the bible, there is always what starts out as some seemingly obscure circumstance or tragic event in someone’s life, and it always ends up accomplishing a purpose for the fulfillment of God’s plan. The men and women in these stories are usually just going about the business of their days. As they are being shepherds, servants, or whatever, we can see God has a plan knitted into these seemingly random, sometimes very subtle, and on the surface insignificant details of daily life. Here are a couple of verses to ponder, as I believe they are directly related to not only the realization of BEING a son or daughter, but also walking IN that revelation.
John 1:12
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
The “power to become the sons of God” lies in our realizing that 24hrs a day, 7days a week, we are playing a role in some way fulfilling His purpose. Being led by the spirit means we are seeing our seemingly random interactions with each other, and even our mundane tasks as taking part in God’s plan. It is being constantly aware of our surroundings, seeing those we interact with through God’s eyes and not our own.
Romans 8:18-21
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
Philippians 2:12-16
12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ,
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
My prayer for us is that we would walk in the revelation of the sonship of the MOST HIGH, rightly dividing the word of truth, workers who need not be ashamed.
