"A Wonderful Treasury for the People of God Whose Treasure Is In Heaven - Devotional and Practical Observations On Select Passages of Scripture for Every Day of The Year!"
"Two easy ways to follow the Faith's Checkbook Devotions to completion: Follow the small calendar dates on each page, or follow the other set of numerals ("001" to "366") inserted below calendar date. On the latter method you can start at any date and follow numerically to the end."
"In thee the fatherless findeth mercy." (Hosea 14:3)
This is an excellent reason for casting away all other confidences and relying upon the Lord alone. When a child is left without its natural protector, our God steps in and becomes his guardian: so also when a man has lost every object of dependence, he may cast himself upon the living God and find in Him al) that he needs. Orphans are cast upon the fatherhood of God, and He provides for them. The writer of these pages knows what it is to hang on the bare arm of God, and he bears his willing witness that no trust is so well warranted by facts, or so sure to be rewarded by results, as trust in the invisible but ever-living God.
Some children who have fathers are not much the better off because of them, but the
fatherless with God are rich. Better have God and no other friend than all the patrons on the
earth and no God. To be bereaved of the creature is painful, but so long as the Lord remains
the fountain of mercy to us, we are not truly orphaned. Let fatherless children plead the
gracious word for this morning, and let all who have been bereaved of visible support do the
same, Lord, let me find mercy in Thee! The more needy and helpless I am, the more confidently
do I appeal to Thy loving heart.
