Are You a Father Who Gives as God Has Given to You?
Monday, June 30, 2014
Singer Seani B. of 1Xtra determined that when his son was born, he would be there to raise him, going against the norm in a British-Carribbean society where two-thirds of children do not have that kind of life. He means to have a legacy with his son and future children of being present and contributing to his family as only he can.
I envision a future time, when like King David on his deathbed, Seani B. is surrounded by his children who are there to spend those last hours with a man who sacrificed for his family. What will he say to his children to encourage them after he is gone? What will his children say as they recall a loving father?
The words of a dying father carry a lot of weight, but nothing compared to a living God.
We celebrate the sacrifice of fathers who honor the Lord with what they impart to their families in both word and deed. We are comforted by the promise of a God whose fatherly protection means we will always have life as coheirs with His Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
