He Is A Father To The Fatherless

A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. Psalm 68:5 

Even if you have no parents in this world, you have a heavenly Father. He is a God who is present in your life no matter what your needs may be. 

Growing up I had several step-dads, but not one father. I would not meet my biological father until late in my life. As a young Christian I did have godly men in my church to emulate, and others who were positive influences, but I looked to my heavenly Father for guidance and advice. He led me through His Word the Holy Bible, and gave me guidance from the Holy Spirit within. 

God truly is a father to the fatherless. Whether or not you have parents that help you in life, you will always have a reliable and dependable Father above. What a wonderful gift it is to have the presence of God influencing and guiding us through good times and bad. He is always faithful. 

It is a powerful thing to realize God is our spiritual Father. It is one thing to think of God as an all-powerful Deity that created everything. It is something else to realize we can reach out to God in a very personal way as a being who cares for our every need. 

Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:6 

Each day brings challenges that require guidance and wisdom from above. When we live in fellowship with God, we discover a God who loves us enough to be involved in every aspect of our lives. I converse with God continually, asking him for wisdom and guidance regarding many things. This is a blessing the unbeliever will never experience and cannot fathom, but a gift to those who are Christians. 

Call upon God to be with you and to guide you throughout your life. You will find Him to be a wonderful Father who cares very much about you. 

Prayer: Dear Lord, we need Your guidance and presence in our lives. Thank You for being our Father, teach us how to be better children. Amen.
