To celebrate Fathers’ Day, our
children surprised me by taking me to one of our favorite state parks for a day
of hiking. We hiked trails we had never
been on before, enjoyed lunch at the park inn, and concluded the day with a show
at the park’s planetarium. All along I
kept telling them that they really knew their daddy well.
How well do we know our Father in
heaven? Do we know Him well enough to do
what means most to Him, what is closest to His heart? He does not leave us guessing about
this. We may hope that a friend or
relative likes the gift we have picked out, but Scripture makes it clear what
God wants. It is to serve those in need
and to become ever more like Him.
So what are you getting your Father
this Fathers’ Day? Not only has He told
you what He wants, He will help you do it.
O Lord, my God and my
Father, thank You for all that You are and all that You do for me. I want to make Your heart glad. I want to serve You by serving Your children. May You be honored and glorified in all that
I do, say, and think. In the name of
Jesus, Who more than anyone else has showed me how to love You, amen.Copyright © 2013 by Steven R. Perkins
