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

Revealing Abba in Psalm 5

Abba leans into Me and listens to My every utterance; hearing even the whisper and groan of My heart;

When You hear My voice Abba, listen attentively to My cry, for You are My King and it is only You that I call to for help, My God and My Abba;

At the dawn of everyday Abba, You hear the sound of My voice. And looking to You sets My heart at rest as the only source of My life;

For You Abba have no pleasure in seeing man laboring and toiling for life but desire for all to enter Your rest; trusting that You will freely give them the life they see in Me at Your right hand; causing them to cease from all their labor;
You despise the corrupt wisdom that destroys and prevents the hearts of those laboring for life to stand before You blameless;

You shall utterly destroy that logic that speaks lies and brings death;

Abba, You abhor all that kills and deceives a man’s heart;

But You Abba persuade and influence My heart to come into Your rest, where I find trust and confidence that You will preserve My life and I will stand still in awe of the vastness of Your loving-kindness;

You guide Me Abba in Your way unto life; there is a way in the world that is against Me and seeks to destroy Me; but You show Me Your sure testimony clearly before My face;

For no confidence can be found anywhere else but in You Abba, certainly not in the perverted wisdom of those who are trusting in their own strength to preserve their life; where there is only agonizing labors and deceit that end in death;

Abba, You will certainly bring an end to the suffering of all those in sin and death. Let those who are laboring to give themselves life see that it is the rejection of Your free gift of life, that leads to pain and destruction, and that it is only rejecting Your life Abba that will cause them to perish;

But everyone who puts their trust in You Abba, and the life You have freely given them will find great joy welling up on the inside so much so that they will shout for joy, when they see that You will ever defend them from all that could bring them destruction; Your beloved family finds love and great joy in You Abba;

For You Abba will always speak well of Me and destroy all that tries to injure Me; With everlasting kindness will You surround Me with Your protection and clothe Me with Your incorruptible life.
