God will never abandon you!

“…Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.” (The Bible, Psalm 27:9-10)
What is more tragic than being abandoned by your father or mother? Because of our experiences, the image that we have of “our Father in heaven” is very often distorted. Many picture God as a cruel father, absent, disinterested, lacking compassion, or even worse, delighting in making us suffer.

That was David’s case when he prayed, “Do not leave me nor forsake me,” as if his image of God was skewed. But right afterwards, realizing that God was different than his parents, he said, “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.”

 

God is a good father

Do you see? Even if your father or mother abandon you, God will never abandon you. On the contrary, He will gather you up in His arms. God is love. He is good. He is compassionate. It is His divine nature.

A prayer for today: “Father, thank You for gathering me up in Your arms even now. No matter what my experience has been with my earthly parents, You are a good Father. I ask You to right my perceptions of You. I believe that You will never leave me or forsake me! Thank You. In Jesus’s name, amen.”
