Romans 08.15
For ye have not received
the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received
the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Devotional
Ab-ba.
Listen to a baby and you will hear these basic early sounds.
Incredibly, Jesus showed us, and the Spirit enables us, to speak to God with these syllables of familiarity, trust, vulnerability, dependency, and intimacy.
The Spirit is our guarantee that we don’t have to be afraid of God, but that we can approach Him as our loving and tender Father who always listens to our hearts and seeks to bless our lives.
Prayer suggestions
- Thank God for allowing me to approach you as my always near and ever present Abba.
- Ask God to make His nearness clear in your life
