#soap # Amos 04 ## Title: Don’t Forget Who Your Daddy Is ## Scripture: (Amos 4:13) “For here he is! He formed the mountains and created the wind. He reveals his plans to men. He turns the dawn into darkness and marches on the heights of the earth. The Lord God of Heaven’s Armies is his name!” (NET) ## Observation: I watched a movie one time about a president who had young children. It was a fictionalized story of how complicated it would be for a preteen to process living with the most powerful man in the world as your father. In the movie, he did not like it at first because every time he wanted to just have fun, he would be reminded that his father was the president. He could have all the fun he wanted, but he always needed to be aware that his father’s reputation was at stake if he took it too far. One day, he found himself in a little trouble. One of the other characters said, “What are you worried about? Don’t forget who your daddy is.” The preteen told his father and the situation was quickly resolved. How many times do we walk around feeling helpless because we forget who our daddy is and what He can do? How many times do we walk around living in any way we want because we forgot who we represent to the world because of who our Heavenly Father is and what He is working to do? ## Application: Live with confidence and honor. God has called you His child. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for the honor of being called children of God.
