On the third Sunday in June, America observes its traditional Father's Day, on which we honor our earthly fathers. This social activity is all well and good, according to the Biblical Commandment. Nevertheless, Our Heavenly Father's Day is celebrated on the Sabbaths for some and Sundays for others and forgotten by most people, the rest of the week. The main reason for practicing daily devotion appears throughout the Bible, it's called God's Grace.
Christians should be grateful that the ways of God are not those of the world. Psalms 103: 2-3,5 states,
2. "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
3. who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases...
5. who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Perhaps, it's the former disc jockey in me, but this psalm reminds me of the song The Heart of the Matter. In it, Eagles' front man, Don Henley sings the line, "Forgiveness, even if, you don't love me anymore." This human sentiment is fine in the sense that we are commanded to forgive all, but it also flies contrary to God's agape love. The Lord's love is unconditional and eternal. We receive His divine love before we even know or love God. And so, Our Father's forgiveness is offered through his unwavering love, which will accompany us throughout this life and the next. Therefore, in season or out, I will follow the tradition of Yeshua and daily desire Yahweh, a very Happy Father's Day.-RSJ
