Thoughts for Today
Many children grow into adulthood with an absent earthly father because of illness, work, unconcern, or separation. Others have fathers physically present in the home but not providing a positive and supportive presence. They may be preoccupied with work, sports, television, work, drinking . . . or any number of things.
The supportive presence of an earthly father is important for the well-being of children. However, earthly fathers-even the best ones-will always be imperfect. The Bible tells us we have all sinned. We have all fallen short. Earthly fathers, sometimes by choice and sometimes because of unavoidable circumstances, cannot always be there for us.

But our Heavenly Father is always there.

Today's Scripture assures us the Lord is there. Jehovah Shammah. He Is There. Always.
Consider this . . .
Although earthly fathers will always be imperfect, God can use them to guide their family into his presence. Some of us have had fathers like that. Some of us have had fathers who continually disappointed us. But we can all find security in knowing our Heavenly Father is always there for us.

Our earthly father is not perfect-but our Heavenly Father is.


Our earthly fathers are human, but our Heavenly Father is all powerful, always present everywhere, and all knowing.


Earthly fathers change, but our Heavenly Father is changeless.

Whether or not you have been blessed with a caring earthly father, remember the your Heavenly Father is always there.
