TO THEIR CHILDREN EVERY DAY…

Fathers/Daddies are to bring home joy each and every day for their children: and not just any joy – but the joy of the Lord! That is his strength; that is his wife’s strength; and that is the strength he is to continually teach his children! God and God alone is able to provide all needs. He is able to heal, forgive, help you move on, and prosper…

Selah.

 

Nehemiah 8:10
Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

 

 

SECULAR FATHERS BEWARE:
If you don’t welcome God into your life and teach His oracles to your family you may wind up being a loser. And what’s a loser? A loser is someone who is Lost in Ongoing Suffering, Eternally Ruined. Hell, my friends, awaits the hard-hearted, never-repentant human being!

 

Selah.

 

WHEN DADDY COMES HOME (Dad to all you male teenagers) he is to bring with him:

 

• a genuine smile!
• a bear hug!
• a never-ending awe of the beautiful people God has created through him and his wife!
• the indispensable words: “I love you!”!
• plans for a fun family weekend!
• a paycheck spent to honor God by providing for his family; earned with honest scales!
• a purposeful planted-on-the lips-kiss for the mother of his children, his precious wife, and a gazing eye of admiration and love for her!
• a deep desire to be blessed by being a blessing to all he loves and more!
• and a deep gratitude of prayer as he blessings his family, himself, and the food!

 

Selah.

 

Father’s Day is a hugely important celebration! And a man of God is one of the greatest gifts God gives to women and children. When we all follow His plans, His ways, the world is much better off; for the family is the heart of every nation. Where there is awe and reverence for God, the family thrives.

Here are relevant Scriptures for the godly father I now bless him with:

 

Psalm 103:13-14
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;or he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

 

Proverbs 23:22-25
Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. Buy the truth and do not sell it—wisdom, instruction and insight as well. The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. May your father and mother rejoice; may she who gave you birth be joyful!

 

Proverbs 4

Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. For I too was a son to my father, still tender, and cherished by my mother. Then he taught me, and he said to me, “Take hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands, and you will live.

Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.” Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.

 

I instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.

 

Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble.

 

My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
