The Father: Father of the Fatherless
A father of the fatherless,
is God in His holy habitation.
God is the Father of the Fatherless; He cares for the poor and needy. The Father cares for those who can’t look after themselves, and for all people who belong to Him. The orphans who walk with God can claim the Scripture that says, “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take care of me” (Psalm 27:10). Many times, God uses the church to care for the needy through homes, orphanages, hospitals, and so on. At other times, God cares for the needy by individual Christians. If you have plenty, let the Father of the Fatherless use your resources to care for someone in need. If you are in desperate conditions, call unto your heavenly Father for help.
Father, I am happy in Your presence. Although I have needs in my life, I am satisfied because You are my Father. You have taken care of me and I know You’ll take care of me in the future.
God is the Father of the Fatherless. Because He created the universe and mankind, He is the sovereign Father of all. Because believers have come to God through Jesus Christ, He is their personal heavenly Father. When God’s children call unto Him, He is their intimate Father who provides for them. What can the Father supply for you today?
Father, I have no need when I look to You. But when I look at my schedule or I look out my window, I see needs everywhere. Thank You for taking care of me. Use me to meet the needs of the needy. Amen.
The Father in Heaven cares for the needy.
