Our Father Speaks

Matthew 1-4 

“…At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.’”

Matthew 3:16, 17

The Father loves and communicates his pleasure with his sons and daughters who know him.

Are we listening for his voice through the Spirit he has given us?

So many of us are much more familiar with the voice of our favorite podcast speaker or radio personalities. The Father alone can speak to our identity, value, and purpose in his kingdom. If we don’t hear those words from our heavenly Father, we will try to make a name for ourselves through our accomplishments, beauty, or knowledge. The door to heaven’s throne room has been opened by the blood of Christ; it’s a “new and living way” (Hebrews 10:20). As we boldly approach the throne of grace, we can hear the Father’s love and pleasure for us. He desires our relationship as much as his Son.

“Lord God, thank you for your love. I am hearing and responding to your voice this day, for your glory.”
