I Peter 5:2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. The Father is the priest of the home, the shepherd of his flock. Those Dads who don’t follow the Lord have a tougher job than the man whom God prepares to Model, Mentor, and Motivate his wife and children. Personally, I want to have all the equipment, training and inspiration that God can give me, because I mess up sometimes. This message will be helpful, practical, and encouraging to you Dads who are always wanting to get better at providing, leading, and preparing your children for the time when you will not be there… but God will.
