~ God Is The Father to the Fatherless ~
Reality ~ Unfortunately in today’s world millions of children are fatherless. This has various realities: in some cases the father is no where to be found while in some cases the father is present but brutal, and still others the father is present but not at all fatherly.
Solution ~ The best possible Father – beyond what you could imagine – wants to be your father!
Scripture ~ “But You [God] have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, to repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless” (Psalm 10:14-18).
“Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may oppress no more” (Psalm 10:17-18).
“Sing to God, sing praises to His name; extol Him who rides on the clouds, by His name Yah, and rejoice before Him. A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation” (Psalm 68:4-5).
“For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing” (Deuteronomy 10:17-19).
Comment ~ God is your Father by creation, but He wants a relationship with you by adopting you into His family as a joint heir of everything. But you are not in that relationship automatically. You must admit that you have sinned, that you cannot save yourself, and that you accept His Son’s payment for all your sin (past, present, and future). If you pray to Him sincerely for cleansing you will receive it.
