The Father's Comfort


“Honour thy father and mother; which is the First Commandment with Promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” ~ Eph. 6:2-3
What a wonderful occasion to give honour to our Fathers and to Bless them. The Word of God talks a lot about Fathers in Scripture, some were good, some not so good. Of course we immediately see our Father God who is the Comfort of all humanity. His Comfort is full of forgiveness, Loving- kindness, Hope, and resounds in Joy as He sings over us. We are His Beloved and ever on His mind. Today as we give Honour to our Fathers, we remember our Heavenly Father and His Love that has been given to us in Jesus Christ our Saviour. We also know that there are those who have not experienced the depth of a Father’s love for some reason or other, but know this that God says He will Comfort You and His Comfort is Faithful and endures to all generations! The Father’s Comfort is always reassuring! God continues to comfort His people, in all the circumstances of our life He never leaves us, He never forsakes us, He is always there.  It is most amazing to see His Love for Israel, for they so often failed Him and to this day His desire is to draw them unto Himself.  It is His desire to bring a Peaceful rest to His Church, His People, a supernatural rest edifying our Spiritual being. He desires us to walk in the power of His Word and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost as He multiplies His Grace to us. A Father is our protector, who hides us from the fears of the day, He is an unseen strength that positions himself as the head of our family;  so our God is also the One who comforts us with -- Ps. 27:5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a Rock.” So many times He has hid me from the hurts and disappointments of this life, and our Father God will do the same for you! I Thank God for every one of you Fathers and Pray for God’s Power and Comfort to always be your portion. Happy Father’s Day!
