So many people have a picture of God in their head of an angry old man just waiting to slap us. Often times this is due to societie's depiction and interpretation of Christianity. There is an overwhelming need in our society today for Dads to be there for their children and for their wives. I will assure you that if you have something missing in your relationship with your own earthly father, you will make the same assumptions about your Heavenly Father. If you're a dad that finds this to be true for you, BREAK the cycle! Tonight's passage talks about God as being a place of refuge, a place we can rejoice, a place where we are protected. If this doesn't sound like the God that you heard about, dig deep, start asking questions, get to know Him. If you are a dad, can your children say the same of you? Can they take refuge in you, rejoice with you, and seek protection in you? Our number one purpose on this earth as men is to act as a mirror that reflects God...our kids need to look at us and see Jesus in our lives. If you need help, reach out in faith, there are many who will help you.
