Being Fathered By God – Day 3

Being Fathered By God

I found this devotional: Being Fathered By God. The devotional seems very powerful and purposeful as it calls out how “Every man has had authority figures in his life, and much of what a man perceives about God was shaped by those authority figures. His earthly father is at the top of every man’s authority list.” So I took on the offer to join the journey into this devotional. Will you join me on this 14-day journey?


Scripture for Today’s Devotional:


‘ “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. ‘

John 14:1

‘ “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ‘

John 15:9

When we don’t know what to do, what to think, or what to say, let’s turn to the source of truth that is the same as yesterday, today, and tomorrow, God and His Word! Let’s go to God’s Word that is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path! Let’s invite Jesus to speak to us through the Holy Spirit! Let’s allow God’s Word into our minds as we meditate on it!


Let’s be the dads who turn to God, cry out to God, and allow Him to protect us from our hearts becoming troubled! Let’s be the dads who believe in God and trust in Him! Let’s be the dads who believe in Jesus and trust in Him! Let’s be the dads who invite Jesus as our Lord and Savior into our hearts so that we may live our lives in alignment with Him and according to His plans and purposes! Let’s be the dads who love our wives, our kids, and the people God puts before us in this world! Let’s be the dads who are loving from the overflow of the source that is Jesus within us as the fountain of life and overflowing love into our wives, kids, and others! Let’s be the dads who choose to remain connected to Jesus as the vine and us as the branches so that He is able to flow into us and we can remain in Him!


The HeArt Of A Warrior

Today’s devotional was provided by Michael Thompson where on zoweh.org they share the following: “Every man has had authority figures in his life, and much of what a man perceives about God and projects onto God was shaped by those authority figures. At the top of every man’s authority list is his earthly father. How your dad handled your heart has shaped you and contributed significantly to how you perceive God. Join us for this journey towards experiencing the heart of the Father and getting everything out of the way that is in the way of being a Beloved Son.
