That God created us to be and that our kids, family, and the world needs us to be.
A new day and a new season begins. As I completed the previous devotion yesterday, as my younger daughter is off to college and starting training with her soccer team, as my older daughter is completed/graduated her first training class and gets ready for her next one, and as my son begins a journey of…
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.

It happened! I am so excited too about the fact that 2023 was the year to start the BeTheDads podcast and it was October, and the first episode was missing. During one of the Wednesday night Bible Studies for The Most Valuable Catch series I let our table know that I was going to post…
Ever woke up and turned on the news and all that you hear about and see is “Poverty. Disease. Injustice. Brokenness. Death.“? Do you realize what time it is? Are you dealing with pain? Did it concern you? Did it confuse you? What did you do? Where did you turn? Were you looking for answers…
As we close out the lessons and the truths, let’s hold tight to God and seek Him with all of our hearts. I found this new devotional from Michael W. Smith, published by K-Love that sounds like it will be a great thing to help us be the dads. Today’s devotional will help us to…
Are you looking for wisdom in the Proverbs? Are you seeking direction in the Proverbs? Are you searching for discernment in the Proverbs? After searching for a devotional to kick off three days back, searching in the bible.com site for “dad” and scrolled through the many devotionals I have completed then this one just popped…

No matter what comes your way today, you can know what to do. The key is to find a good guide who can lead you in truth and teach you. Whatever it is, you can find a way. Do you know where to turn? How about who to ask? Don’t try to rush it or…
![But let justice run down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream [flowing abundantly].](https://i0.wp.com/bethedads.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/But-let-justice-run-down-like-waters-And-righteousness-like-an-ever-flowing-stream-flowing-abundantly.jpg?resize=600%2C400&ssl=1 "Intercede: Will you go beyond and stand in the gap?")
To intercede means to intervene on behalf of another. There are those who need a helping hand in fulfilling their divine purpose. They seek individuals who can go above and beyond to guide them toward becoming the best version of themselves. It’s important to prioritize our responsibilities and take the time to aid struggling fathers….
We are each given a life to live and get to make the decision for ourselves on how we will do it. We should aim to live a fulfilling life, rather than just going through the motions. Jesus came that we would have life and life more abundantly. God created each of us with a…
Firstly, as you prepare for today, do you realize what your purpose is so that you can make the most of your present? Secondly, this is the day that the Lord has made, it’s the present, a gift from God, so let us rejoice and be glad in it! Finally, by pursuing our purpose from…
We need to smash it: the bad, the toxic, and the wrong thoughts, words, actions, and habits before they impact our character and destiny! Ever heard “Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch…
As we head into day 9 of the next devotional related to dads and the one that came up is an interesting one as it is one on the topic of being popular and using that influence for the good of others. It was also interesting because even though I searched for “dad” it invites…
Firstly, let’s start our days in God’s Word so that we learn! Secondly, let’s start today in God’s Word so that He can speak to us! Thirdly, let’s start today with a plan as we read God’s Word so that we stay on track! Fourthly, let’s be regular in reading God’s Word so that we…
