On this day when we honor our fathers, I find myself encouraged to remember my Heavenly Father. There are many verses that speak of God as our Heavenly Father. This is one of them:
"But Lord, you are our father. We are like clay, and you are the potter; your hands made us all." (Isaiah 64:8 NCV)
And here's another:
"The Lord has mercy on those who respect him, as a father has mercy on his children. He knows how we were made; he remembers that we are dust. Human life is like grass; we grow like a flower in the field. After the wind blows, the flower is gone, and there is no sign of where it was. But the Lord's love for those who respect him continues forever and ever, and his goodness continues to their grandchildren" (Psalms 103:13-17 NCV)
Father, I am so grateful for this promise. Just as we do, sometimes our children make choices that do not honor you. I am so grateful for this promise that extends not just to me but to my progeny as well! I remember another verse you gave me:
"For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children." (Isaiah 49:25 NKJV)
Thank you, my Heavenly Father, for your many blessings and promises to me! Thank you for your mercy and understanding. And thank you for your amazing love! May I be an open channel of that love - today and every day!
