WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FATHERS ARE ABSENT
_Happy fathers day to all males! The prayer is that God will strengthen us to take up our responsibilities in transforming our lives and changing our surrunding._
*Judges 17:[6]In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.*
A quick glance through the book of Judges would teach us some great lessons and one of them is the vital role of a father in the life of the people of God, their spiritual life and relationships.
The book of Judges had experimented ungodliness or lewdness right after the death of Joshua. So the Bible has clearly stated that everyone does what pleases him or her because there was no king. A father is a leader not just in his home but in the society at a large extent. The basic role of a father is to lead those who look up to him to Christ and makes sure he maintains order. Fathers are disciplinarian. I know many children would not appreciate the presence of fathers at home and when it happens that they are absent, the 'everyone does what is right in his own eyes' becomes the norm, meanwhile it is a very complicated state though people think that we should live according to our impulses. The absence of fathers just like in the case of Joshua, has caused many damages in families and nations.
Fathers help keep our focus on the needed tasks and give the necessary support for a fulfilled life. No society has ever made it without a father figure.
On this occasion of fathers day celebration,I pray that God will not leave us without a father. HAPPY FATHERS DAY! FATHERS, WE APPRECIATE YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK IN BRINGING ORDER INTO LIVES AND WHICHEVER PLACE YOU FIND YOURSELVES!
More grace to our fathers!💪
