Father to the Fatherless

June 12 – Father to the Fatherless – Psalm 68:5-6

     In this Psalm of David we are reminded of the Lord`s care and keeping.  The Lord is the Father to the fatherless.  He cares for the widows and the orphans.  He is the voice of the voiceless.  He cares for the weak and defenseless.  This is part of what He does in His holy dwelling.  In today’s world the church is His holy dwelling and so we must take this as part of our mandate.  In Matt 25, it states that we will be judge on what we do in this area. 

     He sets the lonely into families.  What a great promise.  He leads the prisoner forth with singing because He sets the captive free.  Are you captive today?  The Lord will set you free.  Then there is a warning to the rebellious and that is that they will live in a sun scorched land.  So today choose the Lord and life in abundance and not in famine.
