All Believers in God have the only Perfect Father - God the Father

Human fathers have been given an example of “The Perfect Father”, God, Our Heavenly Father. Scripture shows them a pattern of behavior to follow to be a successful and loving father. God gives them everything they need to achieve that goal.  He knows them better than they know themselves.

Matthew 6:9-13  “In this manner, therefore pray:  Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it Is in heaven..  Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.  And do not lead us into temptation But deliver us from the evil one.  For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen”

What an awesome privilege it is to know we have access to our Father in heaven every moment of every day.  He is just a prayer away.  Since everything we need comes from God, we can go directly to the One who can answer our prayer.

If our earthly father is also a believer in God, he too will be under the guidance of Our Heavenly Father. Many scriptures list who God the Father is to us.Here are a few examples:

Psalm 68:5 – “A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His  holy habitation.”

Isaiah 9:6 – “Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"

Isaiah 63:16 – “Doubtless  You are Our Father, Though Abraham was ignorant of us, And Israel does not acknowledge us, You, O Lord are our Father.  Our Redeemer from  Everlasting is your name.” 

Malachi 2:10 – “Have we not all one Father?  Has God not created us?”

Ephesians 4:6 –“One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

We need to pray for our fathers, especially if they seem to be struggling with any of their responsibilities as a father. We also need to love them, honor them and respect the authority God has given them over us.
