Proverbs 4:1
Listen, my sons, to a father’s instruction; pay attention and gain understanding.
As parents, we have a great calling to help our children learn, not just more information, but learn wisdom. Unfortunately, because parents aren’t perfect, we don’t often choose to follow our own advice, and our actions end up speaking louder than our words. So, make sure today that your mouth and your hands speak the same language.

1 Corinthians 8:6
Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Fathers hold a significant role in our lives. And, whether they know it or not, they set the stage for how you respond to your Heavenly Father. Thankfully, your earthly father’s imperfections won’t hinder your Heavenly Father’s profound connection to you. Afterall, He is the ultimate model of fatherhood whose love knows no bounds and whose wisdom surpasses all understanding.

Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not exasperate your children, instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Have you ever felt exasperated by someone? Maybe they didn’t listen to you, or they told you, you were wrong, or they kept interrupting you when you were talking. Those things can be exasperating, especially when parents do it to their kids. Thankfully, God says, there’s a better way. And it’s through training and instruction.

1 John 3:1
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
When you become a believer, something incredible happens. You are now a child of the Most-High God. And children need a good father. One that will love them, lead them, and help them on their path. Thankfully, God does that by lighting your path, leading your way, and loving you perfectly. That should fill you with confidence today knowing you can follow your good Father because He loves you as His own child.

Psalm 103:13
As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
Lions are considered an apex predator. And they aren’t known for having compassion on their prey; they’re known for simply acting according to their savage, untamed nature. However, it’s not that way with God. He is the most powerful Presence in the universe and yet He displays an abundance of compassion for those who have chosen to accept Him as their Father.

Ezekiel 47:12
And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end.
The beginning of the world started in a garden with 2 sin-filled people, but it will ultimately end in another garden with forgiven people from every nation, tribe, and tongue. No more work, no more pain, and no more suffering. All your needs will be provided for, and you will be blessed. What an incredible future for those who have chosen to make God their King.
