Give your father JOY

Proverb 23

The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise. [Pr. 23:24 NLT]

This is very true. Fathers find great joy in seeing their children serve the Lord. For me personally, one of the greatest joys of my life is to see my children and grandchildren love Jesus and live for Him.

If they were wildly successful in business or social status yet away from the Lord, I would have a deep longing to see them get right with Christ. If pleasing the Lord became their first priority, all else would find its healthy place in their life.

My daily prayer is that they will love Jesus the way I do and let Him lead them. It’s the BEST WAY to live.
