Focus: What a Father should be

The word for today 
A father is expected to embody truth, strength, and righteousness, serving as a beacon of Christ's character within the home. He is called to be a provider and protector, relying on the help and guidance of God!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"A man will be as a hiding place from the wind, And a cover from the tempest, As rivers of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. (Isaiah 32:2 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 32:2 illustrates the qualities of a true father. He becomes a shelter from life's storms, a refuge from the wind, a source of nourishment in a parched land, and a comforting shadow in a weary world. Just as a great rock provides stability and relief, so does a father provide stability and support for his family.

It is not merely the act of biological procreation that defines a man as a father, but rather his fulfillment of the responsibilities and duties associated with fatherhood. A true father leaves an indelible mark on those he cares for, instilling in them a sense of indebtedness and gratitude. Fatherhood is a divine blessing, as it brings God's presence closer to humanity within the intimate setting of the family.

A father is a tangible representation of God the Father, exhibiting His love, guidance, and provision. He plays a vital role in shaping the lives of his children, imparting wisdom, discipline, and spiritual guidance. Through his presence, a father cultivates a deep sense of security, belonging, and faith within the family.

+ Do you honour and appreciate the significant roles of fathers in your lives?

Lord! Make our fathers beacon of Christ's character in Jesus' name. Amen!

Emphasis:
Fathers are expected to emulate the qualities of Christ, exemplifying truth, strength, and love as they guide their families along the path of righteousness!
