"After this manner pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name."
Today is a good time for us to remember the Father that Jesus referred to in the Model Prayer. We need to remember that He is our Heavenly Father. We do not know where heaven is, but we know that it does exist and that our Heavenly Father is there. This means that He is always above us and knows what is going on in the universe that He created. We need to remember that He is our Holy Father. Jesus told us to pray, "Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." We should never forget that He is our Holy Father, and that He is all holy all of the time. There is nothing about our Heavenly Father that is imperfect. I do not even know how to explain His holiness, except to write that He is holy and that there is never anything about Him that is unholy. We need to remember that He is our loving Father. The Bible reminds us that He "so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) This is one of my favorite texts in the Bible. It amazes me that the One Who abides in heaven, Who created the World and Who is all holy, loves me. We cannot claim holiness for ourselves, but we can know that God Who is all holy loves everyone of us. He loves you!!! Pause for a moment and praise Him, and thank Him for His love. We need to remember that He is our present Father, our available Father. Our Heavenly Father is always only a prayer away. The remarkable thing is that He is always available to us, and that He longs for us to avail ourselves of His availability. He is only a prayer away from you. Pause for a moment and thank Him for His availability. If you have not received the salvation that He offers, you can do that now by confessing that you are a sinner, that you want to be forgiven for sin and that you want to invite His Son into your life! If you have received His salvation, thank Him and praise Him! Bro. Joe
