June is not
only the month we celebrate because of the school year coming to a close, it
is also the time of the year that we remember our fathers. Please
consider the following scriptures referring to fathers.

╬
“See, I will send you the prophet Elijah
before that great and terrible day of the Lord comes. He will turn
the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the
children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with
a curse.” |
| Malachi 4:5&6 |
Apparently God, the
heavenly father, is serious about fathers and their relationships with their
children and the children’s relationships with their fathers. As we submit
ourselves to God, as we seek to follow Jesus, as we are directed by the Holy
Spirit, may the hearts of the fathers and their children be united.
The following are some
scriptures of instruction for children and fathers. May God give us
wisdom and determination to heed these teachings.

╬
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord,
for this is right. Honor your father and mother—which is the first
commandment with a promise—that it may go well with you and that you may
enjoy long life on the earth. Fathers, do not exasperate your children;
instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” |
