Father God

Psalm 68 says this, A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

June houses the weekend that hosts Father’s Day.  For many, that day is a hard one to swallow – especially if relationship with a father is strained, a father is gone, or a father is not fatherly.

I learned early on that the way we view our earthly fathers translates to the way we view our heavenly Father.  That’s great, if we have an attentive, loving earthly father.  But it’s not so great if we don’t.

God is not like our earthly fathers.  Even if our fathers abandon us, He won’t.  Even if we feel we have no one to take care of us, He is our advocate.  And when we feel alone, His presence never leaves us.  He leads us out of whatever imprisons us…into a prosperous place.

Don’t rebel against Father God.  God is Love.  And His love will quench your thirsty soul.  All you have to do is be.
