Father

In whom or what do you trust? In whom or what do you place your confidence?

When we know God, help is not on the way; our Helper is always present with us!

As we approach forks in the road, He warns us of the dangerous path and guides us along the right way. God’s Word is light for the journey.

Regardless of how far we have gone, how long we have been gone or how much damage we’ve done, the loving Father waits with open arms to welcome his child (prodigal though he or she may be) back home.

The obstacles you face today may seem as impossible as the cities and people in the Promised Land seemed to the ten fearful spies. You may feel small and weak compared to your problems. And you know what? You are! But God isn’t.

God so loved the world that He sent His Son. Jesus, fully-God and fully-man, died on the cross as the penalty for our sin. When we trust in the Son, the Father accredits Christ’s righteousness to us and declares us “not guilty.” God the Spirit takes up residence in us and enables us to live a life that pleases God.

God the Father: The All-Powerful Creator. God the Son: The Agent of Creation, Re-Creation and Resurrection. God the Spirit: The Protector and Nurturer. How can we respond to such a powerful, gracious and loving God? Only one way - bow down and worship him. Why don’t you do that right now? Start the new year on your knees before the Triune God.

In a song known as the Magnificat, Mary proclaimed her thankfulness and love to the Father. This song teaches several things about Mary.

Mission accomplished? Only the Father and His willing Son saw beyond what looked like a miserable ending. That day Jesus took on His most important work. On the cross, He took our sins and paid our penalty. Then He cried out one word, “Tetelestai,” which means “paid in full,” and died. Mission accomplished!
