A Caring Father
Scripture:
27 Think about those beautiful wild lilies growing over there. They don’t work up a sweat toiling for needs or wants—they don’t worry about clothing. Yet the great King Solomon never had an outfit that was half as glorious as theirs! 28 Look at the grass growing over there. One day it’s thriving in the fields. The next day it’s being used as fuel. If God takes such good care of such transient things, how much more you can depend on God to care for you, weak in faith as you are. 29 Don’t reduce your life to the pursuit of food and drink; don’t let your mind be filled with anxiety. 30 People of the world who don’t know God pursue these things, but you have a Father caring for you, a Father who knows all your needs. (Luke 12:27-30 The Voice)
A caring Father! I am so thankful for a God that is indeed a caring Father. I know that He is there for me; that He cares about my life and what I need. As things come up in our lives; disappointment, loss, health issues, needs, it is important for us, for me, to stop and remember that we/I have a Father that really cares. I say to myself at those times, “He knows my name, He knows my address”.
Thank You, Lord, that You are such a caring Father. I depend on that knowledge for me, for my family, for those I care about. AMEN
I will remember, O Lord, Your unfailing love and compassion which You have shown me in the past. You are good and do what is good. Psalm 25
