“When I consider Your Heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man, that You are mindful of him?” (Ps.8:3,4)
Is it presumptuous to assume the Creator would have a particular interest in a minute part of His creation? That Micro management is Our Fathers intense interest in His creation? We are significant to Him! (Whose we are!) He created us in His I AM age. (Who we are!) He meets our needs of identity; our unique, particular self-significance, great and small, little or tall, rich or poor in this time of space with a sense of purpose in His Kingdom; National family pride.
Lord, You are “OUR” God. We have no other gods before You. You are “OURS” and WE are Yours: We belong - Your possession, Your ownership; purchased with a price. . . Adoption (select, election, privileges and responsibilities) Chosen by God before the foundation of the World to “BE” His and a relationship within His family, as children. Praise You “OUR” Father. When we pray “OUR” for US, We take on the role of Priest, at this time NOW in space; a position of Kings and Priests, eternal.
When we pray “OUR” Father who is in Heaven, my mind is fixed here in a place of worship, a spot in a circle that moves into a chair, a room, a home, a town, on the street where we live with a family in a neighborhood of friends in a church, a school or place of work and recreation.
A Secret Place of Prayer – To listen of God’s Word.
To go beyond this structure takes influence from outside forces (ie: word pictures, spiritual discernment) to invade this place of “BE”ing in including all of us as “OUR’S” (Jesus and me)
We are lifted up to this privileged place of prayer.
When Jesus taught US TO PRAY, to say “OUR” Father, did He mean that we too are included into that same relationship He has with “OUR” Father because of our relationship to Him? Does Jesus make the “OUR” ours? How can we know for certain we are included when He said I AM to pray to say, “OUR” Father? Is the faith that Jesus gives, to call on Him who has made us to know Him enough alone? Or is it His I AM AGE conformed in us the identity to know I AM His and He is mine? Does the Holy Spirit mark us out as belonging to “OUR” Father?
