Psalm 103:13-14
13 As a father shows compassion to his children,so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him
14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

Meditative thoughts:
Luther said in the introduction to the Lord’s Prayer that “God tenderly invites us to believe that He is our true Father and that we are His true children, so that with all boldness and confidence we may ask Him as dear children ask their dear father.”
In what way does God want us to be encouraged when the word Father is applied to Him?
How does God remembering where we came from assure us that we can rely on Him to be compassionate to us?

From Reading the Psalms with Luther: Psalm 103 Commentary -
Psalm 103 is a psalm of thanks, beautifully and lovingly made, in which the psalmist thanks God for all His goodness, namely, forgiveness of sins, making a sound body and soul, giving us enough of all sorts of goods, making us joyful and confident, delivering us from enemies and distress. In short, the psalmist thanks God that He is a gracious, compassionate, and loving Father towards us, even though we are frail and unsteady creatures...

This all comes to pass in Christ, who for this reason was promised and now is come, whose kingdom reigns over all.

For me I am continually amazed that the Almighty, infinite, Creator and Lord of all allows me to come before Him and say Abba. The Strong's Concordance defines it this way..5 Abbá – "Father," also used as the term of tender endearment by a beloved child – i.e. in an affectionate, dependent relationship with their father; "daddy, papa."

How great is my Father's Love!
