What a special job father's have! They lead the household as Christ leads the church and in a small but significant way, model God's provision and love for us.
Just as God provides for our needs, a good father provides for his children's needs.
God teaches us and trains in righteousness as a good father teaches and trains his children.
For those of us that aren't a father, or don't have a father with us, let us remember our heavenly Father.
We get a glimpse of God from the role model of a good earthly father. Just like a godly earthly father provides good things for his children, so the Lord provides for His children - all those that call upon the name of Jesus. Actually, He provides not just good things, but perfect things!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17)
We pray, "Our Father which art in heaven..." and for God provision and His will. God Himself promised He would be a father to us:
"And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty. ( 2 Corinthians 6:18 NASB)
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! And to all - this is a wonderful day to remember your Father in heaven.
