Rediscover Sonship


It seems God has been doing a new thing... Well, not a new thing at all. An old thing, but a thing that we're only now grasping.

Our US economy is under strain, our outlook for the future seems dim, our governmental structure is flawed at best and there's a huge struggle to trust God in the small things as much as the big things.
But it's our lateral thinking that gets the best of us.
We have for generations become increasingly reliant on our world system rather than God as our provider & source.

But He's renewing an old thing and that is forcing us, even the most devout and faithful, to truly know Him and trust Him as Father more than just Savior.

There's the old saying, "there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole" but even we, the devout, wait until the foxhole situations in life before we call out to Him.

We have still a long way to go to truly wrap this around our head. Some may not see it until they've suffered loss. For some, it's their job or their income has suffered. For some through the loss of a loved one and yet to some it may be losing everything. But it's not His desire that we suffer, only that we understand. His desire is that we KNOW HIM as Father.

Galatians 4:1-7 Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father. So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

We have the keys to the Kingdom cuz the King is our Dad. All we have to do is ask and He IS faithful and just and He loves us.

Our current world system is failing and those things that we unknowingly trust in are fading away. He is our ONLY true source. His system does not fail.

Let us return and rediscover sonship.
