| A Father to the Fatherless: Psalm 68:5 |
📖 Scripture:
“A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.” — Psalm 68:5 (KJV)
Devotional:
For some, Father’s Day is filled with warm memories and joyful celebration. For others, it can stir pain, absence, or a deep ache for what was never there.
Psalm 68:5 offers a quiet, powerful promise: even when earthly fathers fall short or are no longer present, God steps in as a Father to the fatherless. He sees the void, the longing, and the silent prayers. In His holy habitation, He becomes what was missing—protector, provider, healer, and comforter.
His fatherhood is not limited by biology or circumstances. It’s perfect, steady, and always available—offering belonging, identity, and love to every heart that needs a Father’s touch.
Reflection:
How has God shown Himself as a Father in your life—through healing, provision, or comfort?
Where do you still need to experience His fatherly care?
Daily Wisdom Insight:
Even in the absence of an earthly father, God’s fatherhood remains constant, perfect, and deeply personal.
Application:
Take a moment today to thank God for being a Father to you in every season.
If you know someone who struggles on Father’s Day, offer them gentle encouragement and remind them of God’s faithful love.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for being a Father to the fatherless.
When I feel alone or forgotten, remind me that You see me, love me, and call me Your own.
Fill every empty place with Your presence, and teach me to rest in Your perfect love.
Amen.
