The Father’s Protection
Though life isn't always easy, we ultimately have nothing to fear, because God is always by our side.

Psalms 18:1-3
All good fathers and mothers want to protect their children. You can no doubt recall inspiring reports of a parent running into a burning house to rescue a child, donating an organ to a son or daughter, or sacrificing mightily to give young ones a better, safer life. Stories like these are not only heartwarming but also encouraging—they point us toward the greater reality of God as the One ultimately responsible for our safety. Earthly parents go to great lengths to shelter their little ones, but our heavenly Father is able to do so much more than we could ever ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
Look at the qualities David attributes to God in today’s verses. He calls God his strength, his rock, his fortress, and his shield, just to list a few. When we think about the Lord’s presence in our life, these might not be the first characteristics that come to mind. But they are key to comprehending His role as our ultimate protector. Understanding these divine attributes can help us appreciate God more deeply and strengthen our faith as we watch for Him daily.
Whether you’ve experienced the protection of a good parent or not, you have a strong Father in God, who can be called on in times of trouble (Psalm 34:17). He will be with you in every situation and promises ultimately to bring good from it all.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son

And He said, "There was a man who had two sons.

And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.' And he divided his property between them.

Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.

And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need.

So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.

"But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants."'

And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

But the father said to his servants,'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.

And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate.

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to celebrate.

"Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.

And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.'

But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, 'Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!'

And he said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'"

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.

Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.

So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.

It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.

My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline or be weary of his reproof, for the LORD reproves him whom He loves, as a father the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:1-12

Every year Martin's parents took him to his grandmother to spend the summer holidays, and they returned home on the same train the next day.
One day the boy told his parents: "I'm big now, can I go to my grandmother's house alone?"
After a short discussion, the parents accepted.

They are standing waiting for the departure of the train, they say goodbye to their son giving him some tips out the window, while Martin repeated to them:
"I know ! I've been told that over a thousand times."

The train is about to leave and his father murmured in his ears:
"Son, if you feel bad or insecure, this is for you!". And he put something in his pocket.
Now Martin is alone sitting on the train just as he wanted, without his parents for the first time.
He admires the landscape through the window, around him some strangers jostle each other, they make a lot of noise. They get in and out of the train.
The supervisor makes some comments about him being alone.
One person looked at him with sad eyes. Martin now feels bad every minute that passes, and now he is afraid. He bows his head...
He feels cornered and alone, with tears in the eyes.
Then he remembers that his dad put something in his pocket.
Trembling, he looks for what his father gave him. Finding the piece of paper he reads it, on it is written:

"Son, I'm in the last car!"

This is life, we must let our children go, we must trust them. But we always have to be in the last car, watching, in case they are afraid or in case they find obstacles and don't know what to do.
We have to be close to them
as long as we're still alive. The son will always need his parents.
Forever in the last car.
