SUMMARY
Perhaps the most reassuring, intimate title of God shared in the Bible is “Father.”
No matter what our need, we have the privilege of turning to the Sovereign of the universe as a child might turn to an earthly parent. The Father is always there to guide, provide, and protect. What a privilege we have to draw near to the Lord in a close and loving relationship made possible through His Son, Jesus Christ.
