The opening phrase of the Lord's prayer helps us to orient to who we are talking to. He's not our boss, though He is. He's not our mentor, though He does mentor us. It says "Our Father". He is the one that created us. He belongs to us. The second part of the phrase is even more insightful "Who are in heaven". He is where He's supposed to be, unaffected by the drama of earth, though intimately acquainted with us. Stuart Hamblen was a Los Angeles writer who found Christ as he was investigating Billy Graham's Los Angeles campaign back in the 50s. After becoming a Christian he wrote a song entitled "How Big is God?"
When we pray "Our Father, Who are in Heaven". I think about how big He is and in control He is. Stuart Hamblen wrote. "How Big is God? How Big and wide His vast domain, to try to tell, these lips can only start. He's big enough to rule this mighty universe. Yet small enough to live within my heart". Our Father, who art in heaven! Holy is Your Name!
