Be The Dads – Your kids, Your wife, and this world needs.
That God created us to be and that our kids, family, and the world needs us to be.
As today for me started with a verse from 2 Timothy 1:7 coming to mind it feels and seems to resonate with stepping in and facing today’s devotional too. We shouldn’t shy away or fear discussing it for God doesn’t want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving, and sensible. So…
A topic that caught my attention as I was checking out available dad devotionals. I still remember that school multi-cultural exchange from my small hometown of Timmins and the family I was paired up with who had moved from South Africa to Toronto to escape apartheid which I at the time didn’t know much about…
As I hit the midpoint of the week and yet the last day of this devotional, I consider how words will have an impact today and have impacted the start of the week. The decision to live out Proverbs 15 can prevent fights and combativeness and make teamwork and collaboration possible. We read in Proverbs:…
As today ramps up and we reflect on yesterday, did things go as you had hoped or planned or expected? How did you respond? What did the light on the dash show the status of your heart to be? We know that from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks! Are you willing and…
As I get today started and think about my family, reflecting on what God has been able to do in and through me and through each of us, I turn to the reality and truth of the power of God’s Word. The power of God’s Word put all creation into motion. As I look towards…
This morning I woke up knowing that I needed to start a new devotional as I wrapped up one yesterday. This morning I went to bible.com and did a search for dads and started to scroll through the list options. As I scrolled one title jumped out and then I had to do a double…
As I reflect on this devotional, I am so glad for organizations that provide support, guidance, direction and suggestions to help us be the dads God purposed and created us to be. Today’s devotional closes out on the strategies to help us face the challenges that come our way as dads. This devotional gives us…
As we get to day 7, a week has gone by, God’s plan and desire for us aren’t to give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear but rather He has given us a spirit of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline with abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced…
Ever wondered what the best way to stay connected is? Ever considered the importance of unity both in your marriage as well as in your family? Ever chosen to live your life in a way that nurtures and builds unity? Ever resisted doing or saying things that would cause or create division? With change being…
As I begin today and consider the importance of being present, being willing to sacrifice, and being generous are top of mind. As I turn to Day 5 of today’s devotional, it turns me to consider how to continue to become more and more connected as a follower of Jesus, as a husband, and as…
As I begin today and consider what I am seeing and how I am perceiving it. As I begin today and consider what I am hearing and how I am interpreting it. As I begin today and reflect on the inputs in hope of receiving understanding in my heart. As I look to God for…
It’s interesting to start my day with the thought of how to make the most of today and that today’s topic in this devotional happens to be on time management. It’s always so interesting to get to read one of the devotionals from Manhood Journey and how they speak to men and especially dads. As…
It’s always so interesting to get to read one of the devotionals from Manhood Journey and how they speak to men and especially dads. To have the search yesterday bring me to another Manhood Journey devotional was powerful, especially when the words that were on my mind were “no regrets”. As I consider the reality…
As today began and the search for the next devotional to read the words that came to mind were “no regrets”. As I consider the reality of the importance of being the dad God created me to be for my wife’s sake, my kids’ sake, and this world’s sake, living life as Jesus purposed to…
As we come to the close of our current devotional and consider the power of words while being a husband to our wives, a dad to our kids, and leaders in our homes and communities, let’s take a moment to reflect and do a checkup. Let’s be the dads who aren’t just going with the…
