Psalm 103:13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

The first shocking statement seen in this passage is the word pitieth. Pity in the english language carries this idea of contempt or worthlessness. This definition is certainly not something we want as people. Further study reveals that pitieth has to do with compassion from a higher state.

A Father has compassion on his children so the Lord does with those who fear him.

We carry very unique connection God as Father. 

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The end and around connection that writer makes turns out to be prophecy. The fear in this case of Roman vs Psalms. If both mean the same thing but on has to do with fear as fright or terror. In that of the old testament the fear has to do with reference.

Now knowing what we know I want you to breathe in the sweet air of communion between your heavenly Father and yourself. I want you to hear his words of comfort he speaks to you as you read this scripture allow.

 I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more....I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people...

Take a moment breath deeply into his adoption. He HIS spirit in YOU and made you HIS. He has made you pure,  He has made you royalty, He has made you one with Him. Close you eyes and hear his words of approval.

For he hath made Jesus to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

We have been indebted to live after the spirit and in so doing we manifest our relationship with God by our very lives.

 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Today as you go throughout your day I want you to say this to yourself.

I Am A Child of God.
