Father to the Fatherless

Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him—his name is the LORD. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing… (Psalm 68:4-6a)

Some people see God as distant, a kind of cosmic hermit who created the world but is too busy to be very involved in our lives. Yet the God revealed in Scripture is the very opposite: a caring Father who holds the world together, continually provides for our needs, and cares about the intimate details of our days. He invites us to join together and include others so that we can share the experience of freedom and fellowship found in being His family, now and forever.

“Heavenly Father, thank You for including us in Your family; open our eyes to the lonely and vulnerable so that we can include them in Your family as well, through Jesus, amen.”
