S – And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” ⁷ So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then God has made you an heir

Galatians 4:6–7 CSB

O – Commentary:

The Holy Spirit is a gift of God to every believer because of sonship. No sons or daughters lack the Spirit. Further, He is present within each believer’s heart to give evidence of that one’s position in God’s family. The Spirit moves the believer to pray to God, addressing Him as Abba, Father (cf. Rom. 8:15). The word “Abba” is the Aramaic word for “Father.” It is the diminutive form used by small children in addressing their fathers. It is appropriate to see its similarity to the English word “Daddy.” Used by Christ (cf. Mark 14:36), this familiar form indicates intimacy and trust as opposed to the formalism of legalism.

“Galatians,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – Upon receiving Christ, we are made sons and daughters of God.  This gives us the gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives. It also draws us into an “intimacy” with God that is known as children of our earthly fathers.  As believers, we should walk in this daily.

R – Abba Father, thank you that as Big as you are, you still allow us to approach you intimately.  We can trust and have total confidence that you will be with us through your Holy Spirit today.  We know that you have our best in mind as you lead us.  We love you.
