History of when Father’s Day started. It actually started on Mother’s Day by Mrs. Dodd. In 1910 it became an annual event. Father’s Day is a time of reflection on your father, being a father or the type of father you have been. Our fathers need to be blessed by God, and they will if they seek God. Joshua was a father who loved God.
Fathers, what can you do today to be a good father? What can you do to be a Godly father?
Characteristics to being a Godly father are:
1) It is an imperative choice. Choose ye this day, whom you will serve. Imperative is a command. Choosing to side for God or against God. V14) Put away the gods your father served on the other side. The need is to concentrate on serving God. Decide who you are going to serve.
Fathers need to guide your children and be the Godly influence on them. Guide your children through adulthood. Fathers should guide the family.
2) Individual choice - have to do it for yourself. No one can do it for you. You must answer the call. Ye, means to choose you, is a personal pronoun.
3) Immediate choice - you don’t have forever. Take every opportunity to spend time with your family, children. Video games have taken the time of father being with their children. Spend time with your children, when you don’t you cannot get that missed/wasted time back.
4) Devine worship! Demands work. Work must be done to fulfill being a father in the home. It is an influential choice to make a difference. Outward influence is a result and impacts society.
Have to make a choice if going to serve God.
Will you strive to be a Godly father?
