"Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6)

And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”(Galatians 4:6, ESV)

I love watching good fathers. I know a few. I can spot a good father by the trust his children place in him. You can see it. His kids trust him. He's not perfect, but he is good. His children know that. They trust him. You tell a good father when you hear his kids say, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Next time you are at the playground, near a school, or in church, listen. You'll hear it. It is the sound of trust.

Paul is telling us today we can trust our heavenly father. We can call him, "Father." The word 'Abba' is the Aramaic word for Father. We can place that same trust in God that children place in a trustworthy earthly father. If you had a trustworthy parent, give thanks! If you didn't, remember: you have a heavenly father who loves you. You can place your complete trust in God, your father.
