You Can Clock Out of Earning It

Read: Galatians 4:1-7 and 2 Corinthians 6:18

Notice how you approach one request today. Do you apologize before asking? Explain why you deserve help? Read Galatians 4:6–7, then make a small request from the place Paul describes: a child speaking to a Father.

An employee asks what the job pays. An heir asks what has been entrusted to her. Same house, very different posture.

Galatians 4 describes the move from slavery into God's family. Through Christ, believers receive the Spirit and the standing of children and heirs. The passage gives daughters a place in the inheritance, too. Nobody needs to hover by the service entrance.

One response.

Read Galatians 4:6–7. Name one gift of belonging you can share through a practical kindness.
