A TRANSCENDENT TIE
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take care of me. -Psalm 27:10 (NKJV)
Relationships differ in their degree of reliability. Some relationships, just by virtue of what they are, are going to be more reliable than others.
For example, you're not going to depend on the cashier at the grocery store the same way you're going to rely on your life-long friend. Both people represent a relationship, but one is professional and passing, while the other is personal and enduring. You can rely more on your friend because...well, he or she is your friend.
But what happens when a relationship that's supposed to be reliable isn't? What happens when a person's relationship with his or her parents isn't what it should be? What happens when this relational "safety net of last resort" is removed? What happens when your own father and mother forsake you?
David has the answer. When the strongest natural bond between child and parent is broken, there's a supernatural tie that can never be severed. Even when one's own father and mother have fled or forsaken, God will still be there to care for those who belong to Him.
Our family tie to Him is transcendent and stronger than any relationship this world can ever produce. No matter how many people have turned their backs on us, our Heavenly Father is always there with arms wide open. That's a relationship we can rely on like no other. Our associates and acquaintances, our closest friends and family, even our own father and mother will never be as relationally reliable as the Lord...because He's the One who will be there when no one else is.
