Good Morning Friends,
“Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol
him who rides on the clouds -- his name is the LORD -- and rejoice before
him. A father to the fatherless, a
defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads
forth the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched
land.” (Psalm 68:4-6)
God is a Father, even to the fatherless. Even to those whose fathers were never
around. Even to those whose fathers
abused them. He is the perfect
Father: strong, compassionate,
forgiving, always acting in the best interest of His children.
God is a Husband to the widow. He will never leave them. He’ll never be taken away. He’ll protect and guard and guide and always
love.
God sets the lonely in families. A family is what He has designed His church
to be. It’s not always a perfect
family. Actually, it never is, filled
with humans, like you and me. But it is
a family of people who care, who support, who are there when you need them.
God sets the prisoners to song. He is the great Liberator. He can break every chain. He can disarm every captor. Sickness, death, alcohol, drugs, none of them
is strong enough to overpower Him. No
captor can overpower the Lord or those who trust in Him.
But the rebellious, they miss the blessings
of God. It is those who trust Him who
find Him a Father, a Husband, a Liberator.
His, by Grace,
Steve
