What does it mean to call God “a Father to the fatherless”?

In this heartfelt Found in Focus devotional, we reflect on the comforting promise of Psalm 68:5—"A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling."

In a recent podcast, Roxanne Francis joins us to share her moving story of growing up without her earthly father, and how God filled that void with His healing presence, perfect love, and purpose. Her story is a powerful reminder that God steps into our pain with compassion, bringing identity, hope, and comfort when we need it most.

Whether you’ve felt the sting of fatherlessness or you're supporting someone through it, this devotional will:

►Offer hope to the hurting

►Reveal God’s fatherly nature

►Inspire you to be a source of love for others

►Show how your healing can lead to your calling

📖 Take a moment to sit with this verse and let it remind you—you are never alone.
