Where’s your father today? My earthly father died when he was only 57; however, my #heavenly #Father is #everlasting! No matter our age, we all need a loving Father who calls, comes, stands and directs us just the way the Lord did with Samuel in 1 Samuel 6:20 “The Lord came, stood there, and called as before ‘Samuel, Samuel!’ Samuel responded, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening” There are so many voices speaking at all times over the air waves that I think it is blasting over the word of the Lord. Many people today do not know or have contact with their earthly fathers which makes them think, “I have no need of a Father”. Yes, you can live without the presence of a earthly father, but you really cannot live a productive fulfilling eternal life without God the Father. Is.9:6 “a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us: and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Didn’t you always want your father to be strong, important, helpful, peaceful, and a Prince? Well, He is! “A FATHER to the FATHERLESS…is GOD in His holy habitation.” Ps.68:5 “…that He might be the Father of all them that believe...”Rom.4:11 I believe and pray that you will too! In John 5:19,26 “Jesus said, ‘The son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the Father do…Father loves the son and shows him all things that He himself is doing….for just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself.” Our son was only a young boy when the phone rang in our home next to the chair where he had dozed off . …startled he answered the phone saying, “Dear God Heavenly Father” That’s the way he fell asleep and woke up! When God calls, comes, stands and directs do you listen? May we strive to do what Jesus taught us in His Sermon on the Mount as recorded in Matthew 5:16 “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN”
