Obedient children!',

"As obedient children." 1 Peter 1:14

The believer should daily realize the pleasing fact that God is his Father, and this being the case—he is treated as His child. His heavenly Father has made ample provision for all his needs. In Jesus he will find all he needs as a sinner—and all he requires as a saint. Whatever is in Jesus—is for him; and it is his duty, as well as his privilege—to receive grace upon grace out of the fullness of Jesus! 

As a child, he should . . .
listen to his Father's voice,
learn his Father's will and
obey his Father's commands. 

He has only to obey; his Father will provide. 

He has to do with duty—and not with consequences. Only let him ascertain his Father's will upon any point—and it becomes at once his duty, his honour, and his happiness to do it.

Believer, you have a heavenly Father—a Father who loves you more than tongue can tell!

You have a Father who has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in Jesus!

You have a Father who wishes you . . .
to cast every care upon Him, 
to leave every burden at His feet, 
to trust Him to do you good. 

As an obedient child, resign all your will to His—leave all your concerns in His hands! Your safety, comfort, and supplies are certain!
