Thought For Today

Reconciliation


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 31st of March, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Malachi 4:6:

And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers…”

Then the very same verse, you can read in Luke 1:17:

”He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah (The lord is talking about John the baptist) ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children’…

What a command that is to fathers and also to the children. I had the privilege of being at a Mighty Men Conference in Jeffrey’s Bay, on the eastern side of South Africa, just a short while ago, and what an incredible time we had together. One of the highlights for me always is to see fathers and their young boys together, to see them worshipping God, and you will see a big, strong father with his young boy on his shoulders, worshipping the Lord. 

At the end of one of the meetings, a young man came up to me with his little boy. I think he could have only been about seven years old, and this man was weeping. He said, “Uncle Angus, I went up to the cross to pray with my little boy (there was a cross on a hill just behind the conference), and I got on my knees, and I broke down, and I wept.” You see mom, that is why the men need to get together sometimes because they cannot always expose their feelings in front of the girls and the mothers because it appears like a sign of weakness, when we know it is the opposite. As he was weeping and repenting before God, he felt that little boy put his arm around his dad’s neck, and he said, “Dad, don’t worry I am going to help you.” It brings a tear to my eyes.

We need to have patience with one another. We need to love one another unconditionally, and that is how we will bring reconciliation in the home between dad and his little girl and his little boy, and mom will be so proud of that. Men, we need to stand up and take our rightful place because the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back very soon to take us to be with Him in Heaven, forever.

Have a wonderful day,
God bless you and goodbye.
