Day 16 of 30: The Lord is My Father

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!


Reflection: I am not abandoned, I am His child.

Verse: 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. – Romans 8:15

This journey of 30 Days Jesus is Enough for Us has been full of life and strength. Every day, God keeps showing us who He is.

On Day 1, He was our Portion, reminding us we are never empty.

On Day 2, He became our Provider, meeting every need.

On Day 3, He gently led us as our Shepherd.

On Day 4, He carried us with His Strength.

On Day 5, He calmed our storms as our Peace.

On Day 6, He healed us as our Healer.

On Day 7, He lifted our eyes as our Helper.

On Day 8, He hid us as our Refuge.

On Day 9, He stood firm as our Rock.

On Day 10, He drew near as our Comforter.

On Day 11, He shined as our Light.

On Day 12, He restored us as our Redeemer.

On Day 13, He called us His Friend.

On Day 14, He filled us with Hope.

On Day 15, He gave us Rest.


And now, Day 16, we see Him as our Father.

There is something deeply beautiful about calling God our Father. Not just God of the universe. Not just the King of kings. But Father. A loving Father who sees us, knows us, and calls us His children.

Many carry wounds of rejection, abandonment, or neglect. Some grew up without a father’s love. Some were left behind. Some still carry the ache of not being chosen. But here is the good news—God says, “You are mine.”


Through Jesus, we are adopted into His family. That means we are not strangers. We are not abandoned. We are not fatherless. We belong. We are loved. We have a place at His table.

Think about it: the Creator of heaven and earth looks at us with eyes of love and says, “That is my child.” When we are scared, He covers us. When we are confused, He guides us. When we fall, He picks us up. When we feel alone, He whispers, “I am here.”

Life Application

Rest today in the truth that we are God’s children. We do not have to live in fear. We do not have to wonder if we are loved. We do not have to beg for His attention. He is our Father, and we are His children.

Take a quiet moment and say, “Abba, Father, thank You for adopting us.” Let that truth sink deep into your heart.

Prayer

Abba Father, thank You for calling us Your children. Thank You for loving us with a love that never fails. Heal the broken places in our hearts that longed for a father’s love. Teach us to rest in the truth that we belong to You. Help us to live every day knowing we are not abandoned but chosen, loved, and safe in Your arms. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Day 1 of 30: God is My Portion

 A recent song has really hit me, “OLUWATOSIN, JESUS IS ENOUGH FOR ME.” Each time I listen, my heart whispers back, Yes, Lord, You are enough. We live in a world that constantly pushes us to want more—more success, more money, more recognition. But deep down, the only true satisfaction comes from God Himself. That’s why I’m starting this journey: 30 Days of “The Lord is Enough for Me.” Every day we will look at one truth about who God is—our portion, peace, strength, and joy. Come along, and let’s rest in Him together. Day 1: God is My Portion There are times in life when we feel like something is missing. Maybe it’s money, friends, success, or even peace. Sometimes our hearts whisper, “If only I had this or that, then I would be happy.”*But the truth is this—things fade, people change, and life is never perfect. Yet, in the middle of all that, there is one unshakable truth: God is enough. The Bible says in Lamentations 3:24: *“The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will ...

Day 3 of 30: The Lord is My Shepherd

Greetings to you Beloved, trust you are doing well today. We began this journey with “The Lord is my portion,” then “The Lord is my provider.” Today, we see another deep truth: The Lord is my Shepherd. Psalm 23:1 says, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” What a powerful promise! A shepherd’s job is to guide, feed, and protect the sheep. The sheep do not worry about the path, food, or danger—they only follow the shepherd. In the same way, God leads us, provides for us, and keeps us safe. Sheep cannot survive without a shepherd. They easily get lost, they cannot fight off wild animals, and they cannot find good pasture on their own. That’s exactly why God chose this picture for us. Without Him, we are lost. But with Him, we are safe. Jesus Himself said in John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” He not only leads us—He gave His life for us. That is how much He loves us. Sometimes, life feels like walking through a dark valley. We don...

Day 2 of 30: The Lord is My Provider

Beloved, trust you are doing well today.  We started yesterday with, “The Lord is my portion.” Today, we are going a step further: The Lord is my provider. I don't know if you did as I did yesterday, in my prayers throughout yesterday, I kept saying "THE LORD IS MY PORTION." Life can sometimes make us feel worried. The bills pile up, needs keep coming, and dreams feel far away. We wonder, “Will I ever have enough? Who will take care of me?” In the middle of these questions, God’s Word gives us a beautiful promise: Philippians 4:19 – “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Notice what the verse says—all your need. Not some, not a few, but all. This doesn’t mean God gives us everything we want, but it means He provides exactly what we truly need at the right time. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Think of a little child. A good parent makes sure the child has food, clothes, and shelter. The child doesn’t sit and wo...
