CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!  Being a father is one of the most important roles you play in life.  Doing it well is worth every once of energy that you can muster!  This Father’s Day weekend, I encourage you to spend some time praying and reflecting on your role as a father – protector, provider, encourager, discipliner, teacher, etc.  Take pride in the things that you are doing well – and commit yourself to improving the areas that you are not doing well.  Here are three things from scripture that you can mediate on;

  1.  Do your best to live your life with honor. When you screw up, own your mistakes and recommit yourself to be a better man.

Proverbs 20:7 “The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.”

2. As fathers, your words have immense power over your children. Use them with care.

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”

Proverbs 15:4 “Gentle words bring life and health…”

Proverbs 16:24 “Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body”

Proverbs 18:4 “A person’s words can be life-giving water…”

Colossians 3:21 “Fathers, do not discourage your children, so that they will not lose heart.”

Ephesians 6:4 says, “Fathers, don’t make your children bitter about life. Instead, bring them up in Christian discipline and instruction.”

3. If you are a believer, teach your children about God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is nothing more important that you could be teaching them.  If you spend hours each week showing them how to kick a soccer ball, and 30 seconds at night praying with them – you’re missing the point.

Proverbs 22:6 “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it”.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up….”

Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no VISION, the people perish”

Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails”

Men,
The good things in life are far too important to be left up to chance.  Relationships – particularly with wives and kids, careers, lifestyle… these are things that you CANNOT leave to luck alone.
This week, prayerfully cast (or re-cast) a VISION for an area of your life that you’ve let slip into idleness (which we all do!).  Work toward that VISION, rather than letting life happen to you.

My VISION is to be consistent in showing warmth and affection to my wife – where laziness and living by chance alone makes me hot-and-cold, which is confusing as heck to her.

Here’s a good resource to help you categorically cast vision in your life; https://www.life.church/chazown/
