Do you remember all the plans and accomplishments of God found in His Word? Have you reflected upon the plans and accomplishments of God in and through your life? Have you memorialized them in some way? How do you capture them to be able to share His magnificent fulfillment with others? Have you shared them with your wife? Will you share them with your kids? Could it even get shared with your grandchildren and world?
God’s plans
Firstly, God is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. Secondly, God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Thirdly, God is love and there is no darkness in Him. Fourthly, God is detail oriented and has plans for us and our lives from before the world began. Finally, are you ready to live it and finish the good works He has prepared in advance for you to accomplish so that it isn’t just something that happened to you but through you and with you?
Today’s Verse of the Day:
O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise and give thanks to Your name; For You have done miraculous things, Plans formed long, long ago, [fulfilled] with perfect faithfulness.
Isaiah 25:1 AMP
As dads, let us take Jesus into our hearts as our Lord and Savior. With hearts of gratitude, let us praise and give thanks for all that Jesus has done. Let us never forget that God’s love is so great that He gave His one and only Son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. As we worship, let us offer our thanks for the miracles God has already performed and those yet to come. Above all, let us worship God with grateful hearts for His long-ago plans that He has faithfully fulfilled.
As the dads God created us to be, how can we put today’s verse into practice? Are there things we need to and can do to pass on a legacy of hope and love?
