Fatherly Compassion

How does God care for his people? To what extent does God show us his compassion?

God cares for his people as a loving father cares for his children. God shows compassion towards his children who revere him, as a father shows his loving compassion to his own beloved children.

The Psalmist writes, “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.” (Psalm 103:13, ESV).

God is our loving and compassionate father in whom we can fear, respect, and trust.

May we reverence our compassionate Heavenly Father as we receive his love and compassionate care for us.

A Prayer for Christian Fathers: “Heavenly Father, you entrusted your Son Jesus, the child of Mary, to the care of Joseph, an earthly father. Bless all fathers as they care for their families. Give them strength and wisdom, tenderness and patience; support them in the work they have to do, protecting those who look to them, as we look to you for love and salvation, through Jesus Christ our rock and defender. Amen.” (Author Unknown).
