Devotional Friday, November 27th, 2009 Day 3
God is 4 us
Pete has a pretty skewed picture of God. Why? Pete’s dad is a top executive with a successful company; he travels a lot and doesn’t spend much time with his family. Pete thinks God is like his dad: distant and unreachable.
Melissa has a pretty skewed picture of God too. Her dad is an alcoholic, whose violent rages make the family run for cover whenever he starts drinking. Melissa thinks God is like her dad: angry and unloving.
Lisha’s picture of God is skewed for different reasons. Her dad buys her everything from the latest music to the newest clothes. Lisha thinks that God is like her dad: someone who will give her whatever she asks for.
Erick’s picture of God is also skewed. He never even knew his father. His parents weren’t married when he was born. His father never wanted anything to do with his son. Erick thinks God also has abandoned him.
What these students are doing is pretty common. They’re basing their ideas about God on what their earthly fathers are like. A lot of people do that. But such pictures of God are often pretty messed up.
No matter what Pete’s dad does, God promises to be with us always.
Hebrews 13:5 ~ I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.
No matter how Melissa’s dad acts, our heavenly Father loves us tenderly and unconditionally.
Isaiah 54:10 ~ The mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
No matter what Lisha’s earthly dad may do, her heavenly Father may not always give her everything she wants, but he will give her what’s good for her.
Jeremiah 32:40 ~ I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good for them.
And even though Erick doesn’t have a father in his life, God promises to be a father.
Psalm 68:5 ~ Father to the fatherless, defender of widows - this is God.
Your relationship with your parents may be good or it may be poor. It may be stable or changing from time to time. No matter how good or bad your relationship with your parents may be, remember that God only wants to do good for you. And he will – if you let him.
Prayer:
Dear God – I know you don’t give us everything we ask for, but help us to trust you to give us everything that we need. Your promises are true.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
