A day to remember, reverence, show honor to, and love a man called Dad. Maybe you don't have a dad, but I'm sure there is some guy in your life that has mentored you, supported you, and loved you, even though you make mistakes. Sure, we know that dads are not perfect, nobody is, but I do know who is. When fathers go to God , the source of true strength,and ask him for strength to do what is right, true, and honest, then God will help them.
Malachi 4:6 "And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." Malachi 4:6 Psalm 103:13 "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him." Psalm 103:13 Deuteronomy 6:6-9 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thine house, and on the gates. Deuteronomy 6:6-9
Thanks Dad for supporting us...
For caring for us...
For showing us how to enjoy each others company at all times...
For showing honor and love to your parents even though you are grown up...
For not being afraid to learn new things:)...
For not refusing God's greatest blessings, children:)...
For Putting God first and then your wife...For loving Mom so passionately all these years...
For accepting God's design for things, even though it's not easy... The list could go on! I pray that for all you out there, that you know and believe in the true God. He want's to be your Father. Psalm 68:5 "A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation."Psalm 68:5 Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." Romans 8:15 One last thought: Father's Day should not just be on Father's Day. Take time throughout the year to make your Dad feel special!!
