Happy Father’s Day, Fellas! What can a man do to assure that his home is worthy of God’s blessings? If we take a close look at Psalms Chapters 127 and 128, we can find some helpful words that can guide us in this endeavor. And, this message is as important for women as it is for men. The Bible is full of noteworthy help for how to create a family life that follows God’s plan. Even in Genesis 2:21-24, we find that God created the first family, Adam and Eve, and that’s how He meant it to be. Noah had his instructions from God that did not follow the culture of his day. But God had a plan. Do we focus more on our cultural expectations or do we focus on God’s expectations? It is easy to fall into the habit of living like everyone else, always too busy with our own work or play to focus on our family. I hope that my message today will renew your fatherhood into one that will be blessed by God. Our children are a heritage and a blessing.   If we provide them with an example of what God has planned for us, they are like the “arrows in our quiver” against Satan. Let God build your home and He will guard your home. Fear God and walk in His ways and pray that your children will follow.  What more could any father ask for?
