That God created us to be and that our kids, family, and the world needs us to be.
Ever wondered if God’s timing was perfect? Ever wondered if God’s plan for you was good and for your good? Ever wondered if God’s calling might be connected to what He wants you to do today? Well, the reality that I am writing this post is God’s calling on me to start Be The Dads….
Today’s devotional is Killing Sin. It’s interesting as the order changed from what I had looked at yesterday when I was finishing our last devotion on the 10 Challenges Every Dad Must Conquer. It’s a shorter devotional in that it is only 4 days long. This devotional was provided by Moody Publishers which has a great number of reading…
Firstly, to be responsive, where have you invested your time and energy? Additionally, will you react with impulse or thoughtfulness when the need arises? Will it be a response or a reflex? Furthermore, do you recognize the challenges in today’s world and what your children must face? As a result, they require our support more…
As I started today and did a search for a new dad devotional, 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…
What comes to your mind when you think of generosity? Do you value generosity? How important is it to you and your family? Does it impact the way you live your life at home and model it at home? Generous, what it means to be Generosity, according to biblical principles, involves a willingness to share…
Have you ever considered the astonishing benefits? As we head into the coming weeks and end of the year, it is a great time to reflect upon all that we have to be thankful for. We can also consider how worrying or being anxious didn’t provide any benefits throughout the year and as such can…
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…
Let’s keep our focus on God today because He is greater than everything and anything that we will have to face. Today we should be casing our cares upon Him rather than trying to carry them around with us or focusing on them which causes them to seem bigger than they are. To help us…
Yesterday this topic came up on starting a dads’ group and so I posted about it on my personal page (If there was a dads’ group that met weekly, would you join? – God’s story through my life from 2005 to eternity…). What do you think? Would you join? Check out this survey and let…
To know is not enough, we need to do something with it. Did you learn it from hearing? Was it through living and experience? How did you find out? Have you been able to take that experience and put it into practice? Have you managed to find applications to how you live your life? Since…
It’s incredible getting to go through these devotions for dads. It’s even more incredible getting to reach out to the authors and connect with them. Today when I did my search for “dad” in the Bible.com plans, the next one on the list was from UNCOMMEN and titled – STRANGE – WORDS – A Dad’s Prayer…
As a new week begins our current devotional is coming to a close which means tomorrow the search will begin. After searching for a devotional to kick off six days back, searching in the bible.com site for “dad” and scrolling through the many devotionals I have completed then this one just popped out from the…
Firstly, why did God call us to be dads? Secondly, why did God provide us with wives? Finally, why did God create us into being? It all starts from the why. And Love is the answer to the question “why?”. Ever had a day when things were happening and got asked questions from someone without…
After a long busy weekend offline looking for our next devotional to review today, I discovered this one titled “Anger Free Dad” by Manhood Journey which provides excellent resources for and to dads. Its description caught my attention and resonated with me when it says: “No dad wants to get angry.” “We want to raise our kids…
Do you realize that you were never meant to do this thing called life alone? Furthermore, have you found a friend who can walk it out with you? Therefore, why not make a friend who can walk it out with you? We need to remember the reality that ‘It’s better to have a partner than…
