“Father to the Fatherless”

Have you wished God a Happy Father’s Day?

Sound a little strange? It shouldn’t.

The Bible paints a picture of God as the universe’s ultimate father. He loves us waaaaaaaaaay more than we could ever imagine and loves it when we love Him back.

So, what kind of dad is our Heavenly Father? Here are just a few of the words used to describe Him:

available

caring 

faithful 

forgiving

generous 

gentle 

gracious

humble 

kind 

loving 

merciful 

patient 

trustworthy 

If you’re a father: Model yourself after our Heavenly Father using the above list as a blueprint. Pray for wisdom and guidance every step of the way.

If you have an earthly father and he’s nothing like the list above: Don’t despair. Lean on your Heavenly Father every moment and pray for your earthly one to change.

If you have no earthly father: Our Heavenly Father is called “father to the fatherless” (Psalm 68:5). He’s there for you 365/24/7 and beyond.

Spend some quality time with your Heavenly Father today. Thank Him for all He’s done.

Are You Asleep?

It was Jesus’ final night before the cross. After the Last Supper, he took Peter, James and John to an olive grove to do some heavy praying. Here’s what Jesus told them:

My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.

Then Jesus went off by himself to pray. When he returned, the three disciples were sound asleep. He woke ‘em up, told ‘em to keep watch and left again to pray. When he came back, he found ‘em napping again. He woke ‘em up, told ‘em to keep watch and left a third time to pray. He returned once more and found ‘em snoring.

Then Jesus said this:

Are you asleep? Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.

Are you asleep? That’s a great question for us all to ponder today.

Are we awake and alert, keeping watch like Jesus instructed? Or are we sleepwalking through life, stumbling around in a sad state of spiritual snooziness? As Jesus warned: “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Heed Jesus’ words. Stop slumbering. GET UP and PRAY!

Why Are You So Afraid?

It’s BIG QUESTIONS WEEK , where all week long we’re looking at deep, thought-provoking ?s from the Bible. Jesus and the disciples were hanging out in a boat one night. A violent storm suddenly broke out. Waves started pounding the boat and it was nearly swamped. The disciples were freaking. Jesus was sleeping. So they woke him up. “Don’t you care if we drown?” they asked him. Jesus got up and immediately calmed the storm. Then he asked two rather pointed questions that hit the disciples right in the heart: “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Those are great questions to ask ourselves whenever we get tossed around by the storminess of life. Never never never fear. Always always always have faith. You’re forever safe in Jesus’ boat.
