Reflection
God the Father has eternally existed in the past and will eternally exist forever in the future. He alone is the sovereign creator and supreme ruler of everything. He is unchanging, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient and entirely holy in every capacity.

Discussion
God is infinitely holy, perfect, wise, powerful, sovereign. We are not. We are limited, imperfect, unwise, impotent, and enslaved. What would a God so perfect and powerful need with pathetic people like us?
Nothing.
Is that not the beauty of what God chooses to do? He owes us nothing, we owe Him everything. He loves us because it He wants to. He saves us because He wants to. He showers blessings on us because He wants to.
Stop and ponder that today. That your God chose to love you, save you, and bless you.
Connection
Do you sometimes feel that God owes you something? If so, what?
Have you ever been humbled, brought down? If so, when?
Is there something in your life right now that is pushing to take your focus off your position with God? If so, how?
Expansion
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. As the third member of the trinity He is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Son. He inspired men to write the Scriptures and enables us to understand them. The Holy Spirit convicts the people of God of their sin, calls them to salvation, transforms their lives according to the will of God, equips them for service, and preserves them for eternity.
