I. Who is Our God ( according to The Bible ) ?
A. Yahweh is Creator of all things (Jer 51:19), including wind, mountains, thoughts (Amos 4:13), people, animals, and birds
(Gen 2:7–8, 19).
B. God The supreme being and Creator of the universe. Known by the personal name Yahweh. The New Testament sees God as Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.
C. The God of the Bible is the Creator with all power and authority, and the Lord of history, directing all toward the divine plan with His promises. He is characterized by His unique name Yahweh and by being merciful, gracious, slow to anger, full of covenant love and loyalty, faithfulness, and forgiveness. He is unique as holy authority and only God. All these characteristics carry over to the New Testament, which proclaims Jesus as the incarnate God and where God is also seen as the Holy Spirit.

II. Our Father Who Art in Heaven !

A. Romans 8:15 - 17 you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God…
B. If we as believers are heirs of God , and God is the ”Most High God”. Then I’d conclude we as God’s Children are pretty special in God’s sight.
C. Titus 3: 4-8
4. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,
5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6 whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men.
III. How Much does God Love His Children ?
A. The Cure for Anxiety ( When we except who our Our Father is ! )
Mt 6:25 -34
25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
27 “And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
28 “And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
30 “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
31 “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’
32 “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
