But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation,
that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless commits himself;
you have been the helper of the fatherless.
(Psalm 10:14 ESV)
According to the latest statistics, 1 in 3 children in the United States grows up without a father at home. Fatherlessness is an epidemic in our world. The importance of a man to be a good father to his children has been all but lost in our culture. Yet its loss has not come without a price. Millions of children are left with a hole in their souls that can only be filled by a father, and this has caused multitudes of social problems in our society that we all know too well.
But we have a heavenly Father who will never abandon us. He is the perfect Father. He knows His children and cares for them deeply. And He is there for those who have no father. His heart aches for the millions of children today growing up without fathers. He will never abandon them, and we will never abandon those who commit themselves to Him.
