"... the Holy Spirit descended on him [Jesus] in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: You are my Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with you." Luke 3:22
Thoughts on Today's Verse by Phil Ware
God spoke these wonderful words to his Son when Jesus was baptized. God feels the same about us. Jesus pours out his Spirit on us (Titus 3:4-7) guaranteeing that we are God's children (cf. Ephesians 1:13-14).
No matter what the evil one may do to make us doubt that wondrous truth, (cf. Luke 4:3), we can confidently know that we are God's beloved children, with whom he is well pleased!
Because of the Spirit, we can call God our Abba Father (Galatians 4:6) knowing that the Spirit intercedes for us making even our inexpressible thoughts known to our Father ([http:/! /bible.faithlife.com/bible/niv/Romans8.26-27]Romans 8:26-27).
My Prayer...
Abba Father, I thank you for making me your child and making me an heir of your gracious inheritance. Please give me confidence to withstand the lies of your ancient foe who tries to make me doubt my relationship with you.
Thank you for your Holy Spirit who helps even now by interceding for me as I pray. In Jesus' name. Amen.
