Revealing Abba in the Psalms | How Jesus saw God as Abba

Revealing Abba in Psalm 33

Rejoice in the Lord; O you who see that it is Abba who will save you from death and clothe you with His life; Abba has spoken beautifully of you in Me;

Sing praise to Abba with your voice and all sorts of musical instruments;

He has put a new song in our hearts; that brings gladness and great shouts of joy; and the playing of our instruments loudly;

For the word that Abba has spoken about you in Me; provides a sure hope that He will protect and preserve your life eternally and from all that could cause you harm; all that He testifies of in Me declares the only truth about you;

He loves setting His beloved at liberty from all that could destroy them; and He has judged them innocent; creation is filled with the fingerprints of Abba’s loving-kindness toward all people;

Through Me, the Word of Abba, were the heavens made; and all those who dwell therein by the breath of His mouth;

He gathered the waters; declaring they could only go so far; and it was so;
Let all people and nations behold Your beauty Abba; let all stand in awe of Your goodness and the trustworthiness of Your word in My testimony;

For You spoke; and it was: You spoke and it appeared, just as You said; so also is Your Word in Me, a sure word; and a sure testimony;

Abba, in Me; Your word; is all the corrupt reasoning of the world brought to nothing; and its ways made of no effect;

Your wisdom and Your Word live forever in Me, in immortal flesh at Your right hand; declaring Your heart and justice to all people of all generations;

All people and all nations are blessed, highly favored and spoken eloquently by You, Abba; You have chosen them in Me before the foundations of the world; to give them Your life as an inheritance;

Abba looks at His beloved from heaven; He has never stopped gazing and pursuing them; nor will He relax His hold on them;

I came forth from Your heart Abba; Your holy dwelling; to declare Your name to all the inhabitants of the earth;

So that all people could see themselves in My face as in a mirror; persuading and fashioning their hearts like Mine; beholding My life and My testimony at Your right hand;

A king is not delivered by the size of his army; nor men by the strength of their own hand;

A horse does not provide safety; nor can it by its strength deliver the one who rides it;

Behold the One who can save you from death, see Abba’s heart for you revealed in Me; and your heart will go to rest in the hope of the same glory to be revealed in you;

Persuading you of His everlasting kindness to save your life from death and destruction and keep you from lacking any good thing; even in times of trouble; My testimony will be your food for life;

Whereby you will find your heart waiting confidently for the certain hope you behold in Me at His right hand: the sure testimony of how Abba is the One who redeems your life from destruction;

Seeing this; our hearts will sing and rejoice in Abba; because His word gives us confidence in His loving-kindness and His holy name, Abba; the One who gives us His life;

Let Us influence the hearts of all people, O Abba; that they may behold themselves in Me at Your right hand; and in seeing My testimony; they would have the sure hope of that same life and glory revealed in them.
