7/06/22 He Never Changes

As the fabric of our society as we know it breaks down, the Word of God and His principles remain the same. He never changes. His standards apply no matter what society might say. As the world adopts movable standards and a sliding scale of morality, God’s ways are steadfast and reliable.

As a husband and father, you can rely on God’s ways to guide you in nurturing your marriage and raising your children. You’ve been given a clear mandate on how to act, no matter what the world around you declares right or wrong. You’ve been given sure footing on a slippery slide of relative values and shifting priorities for living.

Soon the ways of God will appear archaic. The foolish will see them as foolish and old-fashioned, demanding that you follow their up-to-date example. Be very careful where you seek truth during those times. Moving in the direction of the world may appear right for the moment, but that’s not where God is. It’s not the criteria He uses to judge your life. He uses His Word and His immovable standards. On the day you meet Him face-to-face, it will be best to have used His standards for your family during your time on earth.

7/04/22 Brought Back

“As your true Father, I observe you with unfailing love. I watch your comings and your goings and monitor your life so that you do not wander too far.

"As I watch you, I am continually blessed to be your Father. You honor Me as you represent Jesus properly. You honor other members of your family when you consider them with the same heart that He does. You bring joy to all of Us, as you are mindful of those who hurt and are in need.

"When your perspectives become clouded, I make sure that you regain your focus. I direct you to the proper path and bring you back to right thinking through many ways. I know that some of them are uncomfortable, but they are necessary.

"You see, I desire that you grow up bright and strong in the knowledge of Who I am, who you are, and who you represent. We are family, Father and children.”

II Sam. 14:14b NIV

“But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him.”

John 1:10-14 NIV

10) He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

11) He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

12) Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God -

13) children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14) The Word became flesh and lived for a while among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Eph. 3:17-19 AMP

17) May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,

18) That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];

19) [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!”

When we really understand how important the concept of family is to God, it’s no wonder Satan has worked so hard to destroy it. We have become so used to the modern family that the concepts of a loving, available father, and devoted, parent-honoring children; and the incredible power of a unified, selfless effort toward common goals elude us as part of the family unit. We have lost our purpose because we have missed the plan of God concerning His way of letting us know, first, that we belong to something bigger than ourselves; and then, second, why we belong.

Because we are in Christ, we are born into an eternal family under a gracious, loving Father. We belong to a God-ordained unit, flowing in love toward Him and each other. At least that is the way our Father desires it.

Help me, Lord,

7/04/22 Just Love ‘Em

As a daddy, you have the privilege of loving your children right into the kingdom of heaven! You have the opportunity to forgive them for any time they’ve offended you, and be there for them when they fail and fall. You have the honor of sticking up for them when others decide to separate from them for whatever reason, and the joy of being their guide, counselor, father, and friend.

In today’s society, there are few opportunities to have really close lifetime friends. Other than Jesus, who promises to stick closer to us than a brother? Most of today’s youth rarely find that kind of companionship. You can be that person they can count on to love them no matter what, even if they don’t want it or ask for it.

No one can stop you from loving them. No one can stop you from praying for them. No one can hinder you from holding them in your spirit before the Lord until they can walk in the way God has planned for them to walk. You, as a father, have the privilege of watching them grow and blessing them at every turn.

So let’s get on with it! Put aside anything that may separate you from your children. Stop being a watchdog and become a devoted father/advocate. Love them even if you can’t tell them. Hold them before the Lord even if you can’t hold them in person because of the past. Become the father God intends you to be. God loves them; so should you! What happens next is up to Him.

7/02/22 Two Things Will Happen

“I want you to think of the hardest heart that you personally know, someone who has harmed you. I want you to devote your day to pray for him or her. Present him or her to Me every time he or she comes to mind.

"Two things will happen. You will find out where your heart is toward that person - whether you are able to care as Jesus cares - and you will be reminded of how much I really care for those who curse Me.”

Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV

8) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.

9) “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Matthew 5:13 AMP

You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality) how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.

Luke 6:41-46 NIV

41) “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

42) How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

43) “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44) Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.

45) The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

46) “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”

What an incredible concept: to have the Lord take a whole day of my life to pray for someone who will probably never know nor care that I’ve done it. Even so, think of what the Lord might choose to do in that person’s life and mine if I’m obedient to do what He asked!

Give me Your heart, Lord,

7/02/22 Office of Service

Did you know that you have the opportunity to follow a life that can’t be beaten? His Name is Jesus. Because He came to serve and give His everything, no one could take anything from Him. He had already overcome their greed.

You, as a husband and father, have the same opportunity to flow in the unbeatable power of the cross. As you serve your wife and children through the power and wisdom of God, you overcome anything the world will attempt to do to harm them. Submitting to Jesus and emulating His life takes you into a whole new dimension of authority and power - a power the world doesn’t understand, but a power God endorses and enforces. How wonderful is that?!
