We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.

Psalm 78

We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. v4

As a father, I am called to be spiritual head of the household and to instruct my children in the ways of the Lord - see Ephesians 6:4.  See also this post by Dennis Rainey.

Rainey provide useful guidance about how to manage, minister and model to our families.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who has blessed me with a wonderful family - Lisa, Zach and Dustin.  Thank You Jesus!  I am not worth such love though.  I often fall down in my role as husband and father and I worry.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength.  Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
