29 Psalm 37:23,24 Attentive Father
JMD Devotional 29 Psalm 37:23, 24 Attentive Father
The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.
Some children misbehave in an effort to get attention from otherwise distracted parents. Not so with our Heavenly Father. He delights in our growth, even in our stumbling steps of righteousness; He looks for us to succeed. Yes, He gives us the stern discipline when it is called for-but His anger lasts for only a moment. Do you want His attention? Set your heart on doing and only doing what is right. He won’t take His eyes off of you!
Dear God,
Some of us have a hard time with ‘father’, because our earthly dads couldn’t measure up to You. We need your love, parenting, nurturing and affirmation to grow up like Jesus. Cleanse this word (father) of the hurt, abandonment and pain it brings to mind. Draw us to the warmth of your hearth.
Amen
