God for the orphans

I will be a Father to the fatherless and a mother to the motherless Bible verse

The primary Bible verse stating that God is a father to the fatherless is 
Psalm 68:5, which declares, "A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation" (NKJV). While "mother to the motherless" is not explicitly in that exact phrasing in the Bible, Scripture often describes God's nurturing, comforting, and protective nature in maternal terms (e.g., Isaiah 49:15, 66:13).
Key Aspects of the Verse (Psalm 68:5):
  • Context: God is depicted as the ultimate protector, provider, and caregiver for the vulnerable, orphaned, and those without parental support.
  • Divine Care: It is a promise that God fills the void left by absent parents, offering divine presence, love, and protection.
  • Broader Biblical Context: This is supported by Psalm 27:10 ("When my father and my mother forsake me, The Lord will take care of me") and the promise in John 14:18 that God will not leave believers as orphans.
Maternal Aspects of God:
  • Comforting Mother: God compares His love to that of a mother comforting her child (Isaiah 66:13) or a nursing mother (Isaiah 49:15).
  • Protection: God is likened to a mother hen (Matthew 23:34) or a mother bear (Hosea 13:8) protecting her young.

This promise is meant to bring comfort to those who feel abandoned or lonely, assuring them of God's close, nurturing, and protecting presence.
