The joy of having God as our Father
The blessings we receive as God’s children God our heavenly Father does not like
us, as His children, to worry about anything. He does not want us to worry about
what we will eat, drink or what clothes we will wear. We have a heavenly father who is kings of kings and Lord of lords . He is greater than the Greatest and He is Stronger than the strongest . He is God Almighty . He is omnipotent that can do all things . He is omniscience that can knows all things . He is the Father of the fatherless.
He knows everything about us, and He knows what we need. Because He is a
good Father, He provides everything we need in our lives, such as air and light.
God provides us with good food and clothes, with love and care, through our
parents, families and friends. God also protects us from harm and danger every day.
How God protects us
Paul and Silas were God’s children who loved God very much. They traveled to
Philippe to help the Christians there. One day, some government officials beat them
and put them in prison even though they had not done anything wrong. However,
because they prayed to God and kept on praising Him, God caused an earthquake
to shake the prison. Their chains fell off, and all the prison doors suddenly opened
by themselves! In the morning, the officials came to the prison to tell Paul and
Silas that they were sorry for beating them and putting them in prison. Then they
begged both of them to leave Phillip pi. So, we can see that God protects us from
bad people and bad things because we are his children.
