"Surely You are still our Father

Back to Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household


"Surely You are still our Father! Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us, LORD, You would still be our Father! You are our Redeemer from ages past!" Isaiah 63:16

fatherless child is generally an object of pity. 
But a believer is never fatherless! 
His faith may be weak, 
his fears may be many,
his trials may be great, 
his foes may be fierce, and 
his earthly prospects may be dark
—but God is still his Father!

"We are all the children of God—by faith in Christ Jesus!" Nothing can dissolve this relationship. We may lose the enjoyment of it—but the privilege remains the same. 

Once a child of God—a child of God forever!

Beloved, if God is our father, 
He will chasten us, 
He will put our love and confidence to the test, 
He will teach us some hard and difficult lessons, 
but He will still . . .
pity us,
spare us,
listen to us, and 
give us all that is absolutely necessary. 

If God is our father—
He will notice the least good thing that may be in us; 
He will see the sincere meaning of our hearts; and 
He will accept the smallest offering at our hands!
