Faithful Father

In the past, God walked in the Garden of Eden with Adam. God spoke with Abraham and Moses. He appeared in visions to Ezekiel and Daniel. He came in human flesh as Jesus to John and Peter. Clearly, these men, and others like them, had the chance to carry a conversation with God. Do we still have that same opportunity, today?

We know that God does not change, and that His purpose today is still the same purpose He had 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, even at the very beginning of time. God declares in Hebrews 6:17, "Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath."

Therefore, if we know that God has not changed, nor has His plan changed, we can safely assume that He wants to communicate with us today, just as much as He wanted to communicate with men and women of God in the past. That is why we pray. Winfield Bevins says, "Prayer begins by understanding that God is our loving Father and we are His children."

This is the faithful God that we serve. It does not matter who we are or what we do, what matters is that we are His children. God is not distant from us, but He desires to show us who He is. He is the Father who will always be there. He is the Father who will always love us. He is our Father, our Daddy. Some of us have been blessed with a good relationship with our father, while others have not. Regardless of where our relationship with our earthly fathers lies, we can trust in God to be the Faithful Father.
