This includes our biological fathers, spiritual fathers, husbands, uncles, brothers, and sons. We&#8217;re praying for them from <strong>Psalm 112:1<\/strong>, that they will fear the Lord and find great delight in His commands, all the days of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you imagine if all our communities were filled with men described in this verse? We would have more children who are taught in the way of the Lord (<strong>Deut 6:7<\/strong>), more peaceful homes, a blessed generation&#8230;and so many other blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the enemy succeeds in taking a man off the path of righteousness, he may have access to an entire generation if there&#8217;s no divine intervention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not by any means saying females are not important in God&#8217;s plan, or a female cannot raise godly children. No, please. We see an example of Timothy, raised by his mother and grandmother in <strong>2 Timothy 1:5<\/strong>. It still happens today, but God has a plan for men too. He wants them teaching their children in the way of the Lord. He still wants to boast about men like He did concerning Abraham in <strong>Genesis 18:19<\/strong>, <em>&#8220;For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of joining those who say all sorts of negative things about men, can we commit to praying for them instead? <strong>Psalm 112:1-3<\/strong> is a good place to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ce155fab wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Praise the&nbsp;Lord.<br>Blessed are those&nbsp;who fear the&nbsp;Lord,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who find great delight&nbsp;in his commands.<br>Their children&nbsp;will be mighty in the land;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the generation of the upright will be blessed.<br>Wealth and riches&nbsp;are in their houses,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and their righteousness endures&nbsp;forever.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> God&#8217;s blessings always,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dammy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Amazing Reader, Welcome to a new week which the Lord has made; you will rejoice and be glad all through the week, in Jesus name.
