Hebrews 13:6 - Fathers Day Special: DAD OF ALL DADS.
Hebrews 13:6 (NIV) So we say with
confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be
afraid. What can man do to me?"
COMMENTARY PEARLS
Im a world-class worrier. If there
were an NWL - National Worrying League - I'd be
an MVP. It's the reason I experienced my first
ulcer when I was only nineteen. I remember that
the doctor was shocked asking how a
Nineteen-year-old managed to get an ulcer.
Worry, fear, and anxiety are three
related conditions that attack us all. But some of
us just cant seem to hand them over to Jesus
and walk away. He has promised to be with us
always, helping us, comforting us, and assuring us
of his constant care. But we're like children
clutching their broken toys, and he can't help us
unless we let him.
Sadly, these issues won't fix themselves.
We have to be proactive in our journey with
Jesus. Each time we begin to feel overcome by
worry, fear, anxiety, or a combination of the
three, we must stop right where we are, pray, and
give the situation to God. If there is so much as
a tiny hesitation, it helps to remind
ourselves that God can handle any and all of our
concerns far better than we can handle them on our
own. He really does have everything under
control.
Father, I give my worry, fear, and
anxiety to you. I know that you are in complete
control of my situation, and I can trust you to take
care of it as you always do. In Jesus' name,
Amen. [Celebrate Recovery Daily Devotional by John
& Johnny Baker]
My dad is a doer. Sitting around and
doing nothing is not his gig. When my parents
visited our new home in Idaho for the first time,
Dad went out and bought us the essentials for
our beautiful new lawn: a lawn mower and an edge
trimmer. Next, he set about teaching me how to use
them both. This took a minute, but my dad was
kind. He didn't make fun of me when I almost
pulled my arm out of the socket trying to start the
lawn mower the first time. He was also patient
when I flooded the engine, causing us to wait
another fifteen minutes before we could mow the
lawn. Next, he setup a shelving unit in our garage
to store my books. He followed this up with
detailing our car. He always helps us. He can't do
enough for us. I think it is because he loves us so
much.
I get the same feeling about Jesus. He is
a doer. He is not sitting around waiting for
things to happen. He makes them happen. He sets me
free from sin, heals my hurting heart, and fills
me up with love. Moreover, He opened the way
for me to have a relationship with His Father.
My heavenly Dad. Day in and day out, Jesus does
good things on my behalf. All because He loves me
so much. Susanna Foth Aughtmon
Faith Step: Write down all the ways that
Jesus has helped you this year. Put this list up
on your fridge to remind you that Jesus is in
the business of overwhelming you with His love.
