Faithful Father

I have 1000 cattle on a hill. I have oxen galore, sheep for the slaughter and wheat brimming over in storage. Open the doors and take what you need. 

There is no need for lack. Look at your posture. Are you downcast? Or are you standing up with arms raised high to the heavens? You have not because you ask not. Open your mouth and speak out. 

What kind of father do you think I am? I am a loving, generous and faithful father. Evil men provide for their offspring. How much more will I, the God of the universe who created everything around you, provide all you need. 

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9

Rest your heart and do not grow weary. Rest in my presence and be at peace. In my presence is joy and contentment. Let me lead you step-by-step. It is all coming together just as I have planned it. 

I desire joy and abundance and to make your heart glad. Dance rejoice and make your heart festive. There’s always gladness in my house. 

Do away with somber and sadness, that points to a discontent heart. That cannot exist in my presence. Again I say, “rejoice!” 

Let’s go! Grab your walking stick for the journey ahead. I have a multitude of open doors for you. I have sweet waters and delectable sustenance for you. 

A journey with me will delight your heart. Do not settle to go anywhere without me. Let me lead you. 

I am your true father. Your father who loves you and will never let you go. Lean into me. I’ve got you always even til the end of the time.

“The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.” Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬
