Daddy's Lap
But you, O God, DO see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless. Psalm 10:14 NIV
The man was really just trying to be nice. The cute little boy cowered, however, into his Daddy's shoulder.
I remember when my son was younger, three or less, we would be in public and a stranger would come up to take notice of the cute little blonde boy in my arms. The more the person would try to get my son's attention, the more my son would hide his face. We called it shy, but it was really a son seeking protection in his father. Do you ever have need to seek your Father's protection? In life as we grow older, we see so many hardships. We endure struggles and heartaches. We are sometimes tempted to ask, �Where is God in all this?� Often we fail to recognize God in the midst of trials. (He really is there all the time!)
Dear friend, may I assure you of something today? Just as the Psalmist said, God does see trouble and grief. He is not oblivious to our pain. He is carefully watching over His children. At just the right time, God will literally take our struggles in His mighty hand and lift us up out of our pit of despair.
The Psalmist talks about the victim. Have you ever felt like a victim? Do you often feel there is nowhere to turn? Are you a victim of this sometimes rotten world? God wants to protect His children. God is looking for victims who will call upon His name.
Picture for a moment being a two-year old who has lost his parents in a crowded mall. How do you feel? Do you sometimes have that feeling in the world today? God wants to comfort the fatherless in their distress.
Climb up into the Father�s lap. Rest your weary head on His powerful shoulders. Cast your burdens upon Him. Tell Him you love Him and trust Him with all your heart! (You might even want to read the Bible together.) See if yo u don't feel the arms of God wrap tightly around you! It's a great feeling to be under the Father�s tender care!
