Day 4
It’s All About Who Knows You
Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. —Katherine Mansfield
I did a chapel for the Milwaukee Brewers many years ago. It was a big deal. Where I used to live, the Brewers were the gods of bat, ball, and diamond. Every devout Wisconsinite watched them on TV. Those who could afford tickets would make the pilgrimage to County Stadium. But to enter the locker room? That was the “holy of holies”—the inner sanctuary of the temple where no mere mortal could ever think to go.
I had an “in,” though. Paul Molitor was the captain of the team, and because I knew him, I was welcome at the lockers. I was even allowed to speak to the players face to face. I shared teaching from the Bible with the entire group, and they listened… all because of Paul. He elevated me to a different level in the eyes of these amazing athletes. They were willing to listen to me because of my relationship with him.
Things worked similarly with God and the Israelites:
Then Moses said to him… "How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” (Exodus 33:16)
God the Father does the same thing for us. His presence in our lives sets us apart from others. He distinguishes us. As His children, we are spiritually changed and unique in this world… and that makes our message of true Life in Christ attractive to those who are searching for truth and meaning.
Father, I pray that You would elevate my lifestyle in such a way that I am obviously different from the world. Let me be an example of what life is like in You so that others may know Your awesomeness. Amen.

We’re taught from early on that God is our Father and we are His children. But relating to God as Father isn’t always easy—especially if our earthly dads struggled to show the love we longed for. In this 16-day study, Pete Briscoe draws our attention to the God who satisfies all our longings for love—highlighting how Scripture reveals Him to be our good and perfect Father.
