An official in the synagogue, Jairus sought Jesus out in a crowd. That’s what Jairus experienced when he met Jesus. Now, imagine that your daughter is sick, and the only person who can help her seems to be taking his time. Maybe you’re naturally patient, or maybe waiting for 20 minutes felt like an eternity. Maybe you waited in a drive-thru line or a doctor’s office. Think about the last time you had to wait for something. We invite you to take a few moments and reflect on these three lessons we can learn from biblical dads. The Bible is full of examples of good and bad fathers, and each story has something to teach us about how we can grow closer to God and guide our children in his ways. This Father’s Day, you can learn important lessons about fatherhood and faith by looking at some of the fathers found in Scripture. We can trust our Father in heaven to use every season and experience of parenthood to grow our faith in him! While there are no perfect fathers on earth, we rejoice in the knowledge that, through Jesus Christ, we have a heavenly Father who is good, kind, and perfect. Whatever stage of fatherhood you find yourself in, God’s Word offers you strength, encouragement, and wisdom. Or maybe you’re learning how to relate to your adult children as they take the lessons you taught them during childhood and venture into the world on their own. Maybe your children have entered their teenage years, and your life is suddenly full of conversations about college plans, breakups, and curfews. Maybe you feel like you’re running on fumes as you adjust to working full-time while also caring for a new baby or a rambunctious toddler. If you fall into one of those categories, you’ve probably experienced the highs and lows of fatherhood this year. info under CC BY 3.This Father’s Day, we thank God for the dads and godly father figures in our lives!
