The Future is Now! So, we can’t wait to be the dads…

farmerphilbethedad2 months ago2 months ago016 mins

Create a visually inspiring and symbolic image that represents the theme "Faith: Risking and Trusting even when we can't see it." The scene should feature a father figure standing at the edge of a cliff, gazing at a bright path ahead that disappears into the clouds, symbolizing an uncertain future. His hand is held by a young child, showing the trust and leadership of a father leading his family by faith. In the sky above, soft, glowing light forms a cross, symbolizing divine guidance. The background should include subtle references to key biblical stories: Abraham's journey, Job's resilience, and Peter walking on water. For instance, include a distant mountain range (symbolizing Abraham's sacrifice), a stormy sea (recalling Peter's walk), and a peaceful field (alluding to Job's restoration). The image should be warm and uplifting, with a golden light illuminating the path ahead, symbolizing God's promises. The overall mood should convey trust, hope, and divine guidance.

Faith over fear because it is the antidote

farmerphilbethedad1 year ago1 year ago014 mins

I remember using the tagline in my other blog of Faith is the antidote to fear. The more the enemy tries to cause fear the harder we need to lean into God and His Word and His promises. Unlike some medicines that just mask the symptoms, antidote counteracts the effects of a poison or toxin,…
