Knowing God - He's Our Daddy


Ps 103:13

Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.


The word ‘pitieth’ here means to fondle, love and be compassionate.  The Lord is compassionate and fondles those who fear Him.  If a child really wants to please their father and makes a mistake in the midst of seeking to bless him, the father will have great compassion on that mistake.  If a child was trying to make a Fathers’ Day breakfast for his dad and broke a good plate in the process, his father would have compassion and help the child clean up the broken pieces.  Even if the child was told not to use the plate, that Father might have to give a consequence but would still have great compassion on the child knowing he was seeking to honor the Father.  Our Father in heaven is letting us know that if we are seeking to please Him above all others, we do not have to walk on egg shells.  We can know that He loves us like a Daddy loves his precious child.  The Lord looks on us with great love and understanding.  He created us and He loves us.  We need to focus on seeking to please Him and trust in His unfailing mercies.
