Matthew 6:32 “…for
your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”
Today is “father’s day” and while we are celebrating and
giving our earthly fathers a big thumbs-up let us not forget our other Father
which is our Heavenly Father. Our Heavenly Father is greater than our earthly
father. If God has saved your soul, then that means He chose you before the
world began and sent His Beloved Son Jesus Christ to die for you. You are His
child by adoption, but His child nonetheless. While your earthly father has
most likely done so much for you, our Heavenly Father knows our every need and supplies
those needs as He chooses best for us. This should straighten every child of God
and encourage us to continually trust and look to Him for our every need. Your
earthly father has so many limits, and while he wants to help you so much in
life, he cannot. Therefore, we look to and depend on our Heavenly Father every
moment of every day. The very fact that He knows our every need should keep our
faith strong in Him. Whatever the need is, your Heavenly Father is there with
you, no matter where life leads you, He is with you, and He had promised never
to leave you and to never forsake you. “Let
your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as
ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews
13:5 The writer told us to be “content” because faith in your Heavenly Father
is trusting Him, that what He has given to you is what He willed for you. See,
life on this earth is temporal, it is also full of troubles and pain. Therefore,
God has a greater place for us, where He will be our only Father throughout
eternity. Just think for a moment, God is your Father if you are saved. He
knows your every need and supplies them as He see fit to do so. Jesus told us
this about our Father and He knows Him better than anyone. “Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your
Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” Matthew 6:8
Before you ever ask, God already knows your every need and already knows the
solution. So, this Father’s Day treat your dad if you can, but do not forget that
God is your Father and He deserves you praise everyday of your life. “Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew
5:16
