"This is an excellent reason for casting away all other confidences and relying upon the Lord alone. When a child is orphaned, or a man loses every object of dependence, he may cast himself upon the living God and find in Him all that he needs.
Some children who have fathers are not much better off because of them, but the fatherless with God are rich. Better to have God and no other friend than all the patrons on the earth and no God. So long as the Lord remains he fountain of mercy to us, we re not truly orphaned. Let fatherless children plead the gracious word for this morning, and let all who have been bereaved o visible support do the same. Lord, let me find mercy in You! The more needy and helpless I am, the more confidently do I appeal to Your loving heart."
Guardian of the Fatherless
In You the fatherless finds mercy.
~ H0sea 14:3

Home Blessings
He blesses the home of the just.
~ Proverbs 3:33
"He fears the Lord, and therefore he comes under His divine protection. His home is an abode of love, a school of holy training, and a place of heavenly light. Therefore the Lord blesses his habitation. It may be a humble cottage or a lordly mansion; but the Lord's blessing comes because of the character of the inhabitant, not because of the size of the dwelling.
That house is most blessed where the master and mistress are God-fearing people; but a son or daughter or even a servant may bring a blessing on a whole household. The Lord often preserves; prospers, and provides for a family for the sake of one or two n it who are "just" persons in His esteem, because is grace has made them so. Let us have Jesus for our constant guest and then we shall be blessed indeed."

"Do I make the honor of God the great object of my life and the rule of my conduct? If so,He will honor me. I may not receive honor from man, but God will Himself put honor upon me.
Honor God
"Those who honor Me I will Honor."
~ 1 Samuel 2:30
"Do I make the honor of God the great object of my life and the rule of my conduct? If so,He will honor me. I may not receive honor from man, but God will Himself put honor upon me. Eli did not honor the Lord by ruling his household well, and his sons had not honored the Lord by their behavior. Therefore the Lord did not honor them, but took the high priesthood out of their family and made young Samuel to be ruler instead of any of their line.
If I would have my family ennobled, I must honor the Lord in all things. God may allow the wicked to win worldly honors, but the dignity, glory and honor which He Himself gives, He reserves for those who take care to honor Him.
Let me think what I can do this day o honor he Lord, since He will honor me."

"This word has its proper fulfillment in the Lord Jesus; but it applies also, with variation, to all who are in Him. The general meaning, rather than the specific application, is that to which we would call our readers' thoughts.
Not Left to Perish
You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
~ Psalm 16:10
"This word has its proper fulfillment in the Lord Jesus; but it applies also, with variation, to all who are in Him. The general meaning, rather than the specific application, is that to which we would call our readers' thoughts. We may descend very low in spirit till we seem to be plunged in the abyss of hell, but we shall not be left there. We may appear to be at death's door in heart and soul, but we cannot remain there. We may go very low; we may stay in the lowest dungeon of doubt for a while, but we shall not perish there.

| Sheol (The abyss) |
The star of hope is still in the sky when the night is blackest. The Lord will not forget us and hand us over to the enemy. Let us rest in hope. Out of death, and darkness, and despair we shall yet arise to lie, light, and liberty."
