Divine Foundations
June 16, 2024 • Ravi Kandal • Job 1, Proverbs 4
Welcome to this heartfelt Father's Day message! Today, we explore the profound concept of fatherhood through the lens of our heavenly Father.
Understanding fatherhood starts with recognizing that God, our ultimate Father, has made each of us in His image, embedding within us the essence of being a father. Fathers are entrusted with God's responsibility to nurture and guide. This message delves into how our behaviors, shaped by our parents and environment, mirror the divine DNA we inherit from our Father in Heaven.
Key Points:
- God’s Image: We are created in the likeness of God, bearing a father's heart and responsibility.
- Foundation vs. Wall: Fathers are called to be foundations, not walls. Foundations support growth and trust, and they are free of cracks at birth, symbolizing purity and strength.
- Creation and Sacrifice: Creating a foundation requires stillness, listening, and sacrifice, much like God did when He created us. Sacrifice is about trusting in the future rewards of a solid foundation.
- Repair and Dominion: True power lies in the ability to repair and rebuild, not in exerting control. Language and sanctification help us create a safe and nurturing environment for our children.
- Proverbs 4 Wisdom: A father's prayer for his children is crucial in breaking the cycle of past mistakes, seeking wisdom and understanding to pave a better path for their future.
Join us as we honor the role of fathers, emphasizing the importance of building strong foundations, the power of repair, and the divine privilege of guiding the next generation. Let’s embrace the heart of a father, nurturing and shaping lives with wisdom, love, and responsibility.
