Well, here we are. The one month in which there a day that we as men can call our own, Father’s Day. Now, Father’s day is no where near as important as Mother’s Day, but to us, it is a day in which we can reflect back upon what we have done and will do with our children. A time in which we should ponder carefully our roles as fathers and husbands. It really doesn’t matter if your children are still living at home, or have a family of their own, we fathers still carry significant influence with them.
Fatherhood is a time in which we as men are given the honor and privilege to pass the torch to the next generation. It is a time of great importance, not just for our children, but also for our nation as a whole. For the last few generations, fatherhood has taken a great beating. We as men have relinquished our roles, redirected our desires, and redeveloped what it truly means to be a man in culture today.
Every man has a warrior spirit within him. It is high time we release that God-given warrior within. But, to release that warrior, we must first discover our full potential and what it truly means to be a God-warrior. In other words, we have to dig deep within ourselves and allow God to form us into the warrior He designed us to be. That design is none other than to be made into the image of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the perfect male warrior model and it is HIM that we must look to for our guidance and training.
Let us all, from this day forward, be known as warriors of God.
