Psalm 8:4-6

“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.” Psalm 8:4-6

God, the father to those who have lost or lack an earthly father. I love that God uses the relationship of father-child to represent one of the many things He is to us. Maybe today you are suffering from the pain of this type of relationship. Maybe you are still wanting the approval of your earthly father even years after he has been gone. Possibly you don’t know your father at all or have never known him. This type of relationship loss can create a vacuum in our hearts. However, we can find hope and comfort today that regardless of the relationship we have or don’t have with our earthly father, God is there to fill that void. You might be one of the fortunate people that have had a great relationship with your earthly father and don’t understand that lacking. I ask you today to just celebrate the fact the your earthly and heavenly father love you so. However, for those who don’t have a peace in this relationship I offer you the love and acceptance of the Creator of heaven and earth. I pray that today you find hope and comfort in the Father that sits on His throne and longs to love you.
