Today´s notable verse:
The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.
Proverbs 23:24 (NIV)
I hope that my life brings my father both joy and delight – just as I hope to take joy and delight in the lives of my unborn and future children! Even before my first child is born, I begin to understand more clearly what this verse is saying. Fatherhood is such a privilege and a responsibility – to raise one’s children in the faith, to teach them to walk in righteousness, and to develop wisdom. To see the fruit of faithful stewardship of that responsibility must bring great joy, and a father cannot help but to find delight in the life that results from the years of investment. As a son, I can say that many times, I have made decisions based upon what would please or disapoint my father – and that is to his credit, for exemplifying the standard of righteousness and wisdom against which I have been able to make decisions, and also for instilling in me hat same standard. And I thank my Heavenly Father, for His grace in the times when I fail to live up to that standard. None of us is perfect, and yet we are still accepted by our Father – just as I am always accepted by my father, for he also exemplifies God’s grace. Not a day goes by without thanking God for my parents.
