Fathers have one of the most essential roles in a family. They are called the leaders and the head of the family. Genesis 18:19 says, “For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.” Husbands and fathers are uniquely equipped with a vision and leadership to take care of their families that God has given them. This can require strength, bravery, and a relationship with God.
They also protect. Just like God protects us. Fathers are called to protect their children and wife. Psalm 5:11 says, “But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.”
There are so many more characteristics of Fathers. So let’s celebrate our Fathers this Father’s Day!
If this father’s day you do not have an earthly father, remember that you always have a Heavenly one.

The role of a father is not a human idea, it originated with God himself, our Heavenly Father, and is a divine role and calling. Becoming a father, stepfather, grandfather, or foster father is an opportunity to represent God to your children in the way you love and care for them as God loves and cares for us.
