"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Today is Father’s Day a day of mixed emotions whether happy, sad, angry, grieving, grateful, hurt, it stirs up all sorts of things in different people. Not everyone had a perfect dad experience and today in our culture, men are made to either be buffoons or not really needed. This is all part of enemies plan to destroy the family.
Men you are needed. Your children need you. Your grandchildren need you. The world needs you. Hollywood doesn’t need you but they don’t matter anyway. Men of courage are needed to stand up and fight for their family. Godly fathers are needed to be the spiritual backbone of their family. Men with strong character and good morals that are not ashamed of God or not ashamed to pray. Fathers means adoptive daddies too. Don’t forget that!
Fathers are to lead the generations to come into the kingdom of God. The dad is to be the head of the house and this means the spiritual leader too. Don’t count on the world to lead your children to Christ it will likely not occur. The time is now to make an impact. God gave his only Son Jesus so we might live and be free and quite frankly many snub their noses at him or act like it is a big huge joke. It is no joke. The time will come some day when you will stand before the judgment seat of Christ and account for your life. Will you be able to say ‘Hi Abba daddy father” or will he be disappointed in you. He loves you and he does not wish for any to perish. Are you standing with Him today?
PRAYER: I thank you for my Earthly father who you placed on this earth for a reason and I thank you for all he did for me. Help those people with not so happy dad experiences be able to forgive them even if their dad is dead. Help dads now of small children be teaching their families about Christ. Wake up those who are not. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
