Matthew 6.9-13
Father's Day used to be a day when families honored their fathers. While that is still done because of blended families and broken homes and single moms and "same sex parents" other issues it has become a complicated day. With the rise of abuse and divorce and the horror of father abandoning their children this day is painful for many. I admire those who through God's strength forgive and persevere.
Is there hope on this day?There is always hope when you have Jesus!
Look to God's Word and think of Him as our Father, which He is! This day can be redeemed for those struggling. For those who had good fathers we can reflect on their lives and be blessed. For those fathers on earth, our Father in heaven is to be our model. For all of us we can reflect on God Our Father In Heaven today.
I love this verse in Psalm 27.10
If my mother or father forsake me the LORD will take me up.
Forsake= to depart from, leave behind, leave, let alone, abandon, neglect
to let loose, set free, let go, free
Take me up= gather together, be gathered as to our fathers
The Forever Family, the Eternal One, the one that all believers will be with forever is the Family of God. If we are forsaken or left behind or abandoned or neglected by our family on earth the LORD will take us up!
1. He is in Heaven.
Psalm 115.3 Our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him.
He sees all.
We read this week in Proverbs 15.3 The eyes of the LORD are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
He rules overall.
He can take the most difficult situations and turn the around for good for us and for His glory. Amazing! Romans 8.28
He is able to do more than we could ever ask or imagine according to His power that is at work within us! Ephesians 3.19
God, the Father is on His Throne in Heaven.
Psalm 93.2 Your Throne was established long ago. You are from all eternity.
Psalm 103.11 The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His Kingdom rules over all.
2. This is My Father's World
Revelation 4.11
“You are worthy, our LORD and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for You created all things,
and by Your will they were created
and have their being.”
Psalm 135.6 The LORD does whatever pleases Him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.
He wants to commune with us each day, each moment.
Proverbs 3.32 For the LORD detests the perverse but takes the upright into His confidence.
He lets us know what is up in the world and in Body of Christ. He brings expectations to our hearts of what He is going to do.
Psalm 138.6 For though the LORD is exalted, Yet He regards the lowly, But the haughty He knows from afar.
We have a personal relationship with Almighty God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
3. He is Perfect.
He disciplines us for our good.
All through Proverbs... 3.5-6, 7-12
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline,
and do not resent His rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those He loves,
as a father the son he delights in.
He instructs us.
Proverbs 15.5
We are to be like Him!
Matthew 5.48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
We will be like Him!
We are becoming like Him... If we submit to the spirits of our fathers and live.
4. He is the God and Father of Our LORD Jesus Christ. I Peter 1.3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
When we are born again, born from above we enter the Kingdom and the Family of God.
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives!
5. He has Chosen to reveal Himself to us as a Parent, a Father.
Psalm 68.6 God sets the lonely in families...
If we are part of the Family of God we are in the best family on earth.
Father in Heaven How I love You,
I lift Your Name in all the earth,
May Your Kingdom be established in our praises
AsYour people declare Your Mighty Works!
Blessed be the LORD God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come,
Blessed be the LORD God Almighty
Who reigns forevermore
