TALK TO GOD

Talking To My Daddy

 

Big cats are my favorite animals.  Tiers, Lions, panthers are incredible to look at.  Even bobcats seen around here are so cool to spot.  These big cats are beautiful yet ferocious.  At the zoo or on some documentary it is amazing to watch the momma cats protect and take care of the babies.

Pray:  God, You are so big and awesome.  Yet, you care for us.  Show me more about who you are.

Grab your Bible:  Psalm 8 and Psalm 103:13

 Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
    Your glory is higher than the heavens.
You have taught children and infants
    to tell of your strength,[b]
silencing your enemies
    and all who oppose you.

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
    the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
    human beings that you should care for them?[c]
Yet you made them only a little lower than God[d]
    and crowned them[e] with glory and honor.
You gave them charge of everything you made,
    putting all things under their authority—
the flocks and the herds
    and all the wild animals,
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
    and everything that swims the ocean currents.

Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

Psalm 103:13

The Lord is like a father to his children,
    tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

God is majestic.  He is in complete control.  No one is like our God.  He spoke the universe into existence.  There is no one like our God.  He is mighty.  Yet, is you have believed in Jesus, you are His child.  And He is your father.

I picture God like that Lion.  Fierce, powerful, majestic.  No one compares to Him.  Yet, He is my Father.  He wants to be so close to me and He wants me to get close to Him.  I can call Him, Daddy.  Wow!  I have permission to call the God of the Universe, “Daddy”.

Prayer:  God, I believe in You.  You are real.  There is no one like You.  Thank you that I can call You Daddy.

OK GUYS, IT IS TIME TO PRAY BIG TIME…BOTH FOR WILD WEEK AND FOR PASSION CAMP.  Pray that we would have 100 students attend Wild Week and that each one would hear the good news of Jesus.  And pray for Passion Camp that we would take 24 and that the entire week would be a God-encounter for each of us.
