A Loving Father – Sunday Thought For The Day by Mychal Massie
from Doofiegirl on 06/21/2015 10:30 PMA Loving Father – Sunday Thought For The Day by Mychal Massie on June 21, 2015 in Daily Rant, Faith & Family,Thought For The Day
Posted by doofiegirl
The following was written for June 21, 2015, "Our Daily Bread" by Bill Crowder.
***********************
The parents were obviously weary from dragging their two energetic preschoolers through airports and airplanes, and now their final flight was delayed. As I watched the two boys running around the crowded gate area, I wondered how Mom and Dad were going to keep the little guys settled down for our half-hour flight into Grand Rapids. When we finally boarded, I noticed that the father and one of the sons were in the seats behind me. Then I heard the weary father say to his son, "Why don't you let me read one of your storybooks to you." And during the entire flight, this loving father softly and patiently read to his son, keeping him calm and focused.
In one of his psalms David declares, "As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him" (Ps. 103:13). The word pities refers to showing love and compassion. This tender word gives us a picture of how deeply our heavenly Father loves His children, and it reminds us what a great gift it is to be able to look to God and cry, "Abba, Father" (Rom. 8:15).
God longs for you to listen again to the story of His love for you when you are restless on your own journey through life. Your heavenly Father is always near, ready to encourage you with His Word.
I rejoice in Your presence and Your love for me, Lord. Today I choose joy in knowing Your love is constant and unchanging, forever fixed.
God's great love for His child is one of His greatest gifts.
INSIGHT:
Commentator Adam Clarke provides this background to Psalm 103: "The inscription in the Hebrew, and in all the Versions, gives this Psalm to David; and yet many of the ancients believed it to refer to the times of the captivity, or rather to its conclusion, in which the redeemed Jews give thanks to God for their restoration. It is a Psalm of inimitable sweetness and excellence; contains the most affectionate sentiments of gratitude to God for his mercies; and the most consoling motives to continue to trust in God, and be obedient to him."
READ: Psalm 103:7-13
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

from cattastrophy on 06/21/2015 07:43 PMOzzy, normally I am screaming just the opposite of what is happening here.
THUG? Ozzy I have a totally different term but it would not be allowed here.
What upsets me the most is that those poor people were not even cold on a slab before Obama took the opportunity to get hit soap box out and start with the gun thing....maybe his motto is seize the opportunity before the idea is gone.
Yes they caught this little *&^%$ and from what I have seen of him if he don't take the insanity plea he IS CRAZY, but now is not the time to start with your anti gun thing...at lest let the people bury their dead before campaigning for your anti gun thingy. But, alas Obama does not think like that.
Yes I stand with the black community on this issue and yes they have my prayers and are in my thoughts but before things get out of hand like in Ferguson or Baltimore let things die down....AND FOR GOD'S SAKE ............KEEP.....AL SHARPTON.....AND......JESSE JACKSON..................AWAY.

from Marianne on 06/21/2015 09:46 AMHello to everybody - I think that we need to be patient; many are still busy, searching lost friends and reconnecting over several different sites. Send a message to your friends and see when they have a moment to chat. 
Re: The truth about extreme weather?
from EternalSailorSol on 06/21/2015 05:10 AMIt is hard to say for sure what it true anymore. Scientists these days can lie (and almost always) get away with it, because of their fame and money they make. I am not calling all Scientists liars, but a lot of things people say these days are questionable.
