Psalm 103:13
“ Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth
them that fear him.”
In many places in scripture we see the love a father has for
his children compared to the love our Heavenly Father has for His children. We
know how unruly and rebellious our children can be at times and we also know we
are the same with God.
Our fear of the Lord is a fear of love and respect and
devotion. The exact same type of love we are to have for our earthly father. In
this life we fall far short of the fear of both. Just as we fail our earthly
father at times how mush more so do we fail our Heavenly Father?
God tells us we are to honor our father and mother. We have
set aside two days a year for this. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. But God
didn’t set a number of days for this honor. Just as we honor our Heavenly
Father daily so ought we to honor our parents.
So, as we honor our earthly fathers today, don’t forget to
thank the Lord for the father He has given you. And especially if the Lord has
given you a father who is a follower of Christ.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
