An Accurate Picture of God by Richard Roberts



I returned home one evening to find that our daughter, Jordan, who was 2 at the time, had crawled up onto the kitchen table. She got shocked when she realized how high up she was and she couldn't get down. As I came in, the babysitter was making an attempt to help her, but Jordan didn't want to be helped by the babysitter. She wanted me. I walked over to Jordan and held out my arms, and she responded by throwing her arms around my neck. She was off that table in a matter of seconds. What was the difference between the babysitter's tries to help Jordan and my attempt? I was her pop.

She knew me. She trusted me. She knew that I loved her and that I would help her. Many folks don't see God, their heavenly pop, as a good and loving Father. They are fearful and distrustful of Him. Their picture of God is one of an old man sitting on a cloud, counting their sins. But that is not a correct picture of God! To trust God, you want a true understanding of His nature. Nahum 17 MSG asserts, God is good, a hiding place in tough times. He recognizes and welcomes any one trying to find help. When you are going thru a heavy time and require assistance, picture your heavenly dad reaching out to you with open arms. He adores you and is there for you!
