For Fathers

My father and I

What makes FATHERS is children. What makes CHILDREN is fathers.

When God sent His Son to earth, He didn't alter His design. He sent Him as an infant born to a mother and a father, who had left their father and mother and made a marriage covenant. Instead of a conqueror, He first sent a baby. A child.

He created the Jewish people by giving a son to a man and woman who were well past bearing years. He promised Abram He would be a father with an ancestry more than the stars in the sky. The psalm says He calls all the stars by name.

Here, again, we have the promise of children to bless the entire world because from them would come King David, the youngest child of his family, and from David, the King of all Kings. A child would be born who would save the world because of the fathers and mothers who preceded Him.

Our Redeemer, the Christ, is a Son, a brother, a bridegroom, and through His Father, a Father Himself.

Nothing God set up in Genesis, at the beginning of time, has been altered. Nothing has faded away. Nothing is of less value or out-of-date. God designed a man and a woman to cleave to each other and multiply mankind, made in His image, and all of His amazing creation across the globe.

God designed children, fathers, and mothers, then He became what He'd created, and used death brought into the world by sin, to defeat death and sin entirely. He created the family to make a family who loved Him with all their heart, all their mind, and all their soul.

I am blessed to have a wonderful earthly father who I adore. I am blessed to have a loving heavenly Father as well. I honor both of them for the unconditional love they have given me. And my Father God above who designed parenthood so that the joy of the next generation is ours.
