Father, I want these whom you have given me
to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because
you loved me even before the world began! "O righteous Father, the world
doesn't know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. I have
revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will
be in them, and I will be in them." John 17:24-26
Jesus respected His Heavenly Father very
deeply—continually honoring Him. Admiration at the highest level. Who do you
respect? Who do you deeply admire? Why?

God the Father is deserving of our
admiration and respect. I personally hold Him in highest esteem because He is
worthy…after all He IS our creator, sustainer, pure righteousness, the
omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient—the Almighty God who has all power, is eternally
in all things, and has all knowledge. He is above all…and yet He knows each of
us by name—and cares about us—loves us. I feel so special to know that I am loved by the God of the universe—that I
am a child of the King—His child. Adopted into His family.
So you have not received a spirit that makes
you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as
his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father." Romans 8:15
How can I not admire and respect such an
awesome God—our Abba, Father? Do you?
Prayer
~ Lord God—I humbly bow my head and my spirit to You—for You are an awesome
God, worthy of all my admiration and respect.
