Just For Dads: Be A Positive Christian Role Model – Day 15
Today’s theme or topic is titled “It’s always something“! I found a devotional that was a bit longer and that sounded powerful as a message so that it could help us learn and become the dads God created and purposed for us to be. So I chose “Just For Dads: Be A Positive Christian Role Model” because, over 21 days, we will get to read and learn about how to be a positive Christian role model for our family! Over 21 days, we will get to learn about topics like: “self-discipline, love, patience, and much more
! This devotional will not only help us be the dads but it will also help us “in our day-to-day life to show our children what it truly means to be a role model and follower of Christ in every sense“.
Scripture from Today’s Devotional:
‘“What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “What can we say? How can we prove our innocence? God has uncovered your servants’ guilt. We are now my lord’s slaves—we ourselves and the one who was found to have the cup.” ‘
Genesis 44:16
God’s Word is so alive and can speak right into our situation. God’s Word can show up as we search for answers. Are we ready to hear it? Are we ready to listen? Are we ready to be obedient? Are we ready to do it and follow through?
Let’s be the dads who humble ourselves before God with open hands and give Him what we have for His plans and His purposes! Let’s be the dads who realize that everything belongs to God and so we need to be good stewards of it in order to have it be used well for His glory! Let’s be the dads who are humble and waiting on God to receive His wisdom and discernment as to what to do and how best to manage what He has given us!
