Light: Come out of the darkness and be the dads

Step into the light and embrace the dad God has destined you to be. Prioritize your life with your wife following after God, and let His radiance guide you to become the parent your children need. By embodying your values through your thoughts, words, and actions, let us inspire the world to follow in our footsteps and become the fathers we were meant to be.

Do you have a personal relationship with God through Jesus, as described in Hebrews 9? When Jesus paid the ultimate price, the curtain tore, and we no longer needed a priest to act as a mediator between us and God. We can now have a relationship with God through Jesus anywhere we are, not just in one particular place. Have you embraced this opportunity?

Today’s Verse of the Day:

Firstly, there is no need to be dads wandering in the darkness when we have the Word of God that is a lamp unto our feet! Secondly, we don’t need to wonder where to go for God’s Word provides us with light to show us the path to take! Finally, God’s Word is active and alive and so let’s make and take the time to meditate on it daily in order to know the path to take to become the dads God created, purposed, and plans for us to become!

So what are you struggling with? Are you in an intimate relationship with God thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus? Are you seeing thanks to the light provided to lead and guide you through His Word? How will you choose to apply today’s verse of the day to help you be the dads God created, planned, and purposed for you to be?
