Who’s Your Daddy?

“Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” (Gal. 4:6)

I pondered over the title of this post for some time and almost didn’t go with it because this term, “Who’s your Daddy?” has taken on a life of its own with varying meanings. But, as a Christian, it’s a very important question to ask yourself, especially during any kind of crisis or emergency. This is because you have been adopted into God’s wonderful family! God is now your Heavenly Father (this is how Jesus taught you to approach Him when praying). You are His beloved child with all the rights that come with that privilege, and you can now approach Him boldly as you do your earthly father. Three times in the New Testament, Jesus and the Apostle Paul used the word “abba” when speaking to God. The word “abba” in modern Hebrew means “Daddy.”

Therefore

Throughout the day, when you remember how much God loves you deeply especially if any kind of situation happens where you need your Heavenly Father’s help and guidance, don’t despair, just remember, “Who’s your daddy?” and approach Him that way, boldly; He will respond to you in a wonderful and perfect way!

“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” (Rom. 8:15)
