Wasn't it good yesterday to be reminded that the first and foundational work of a husband and father is to be the prophet of and for the home? It was a point well made and important to be headed. It is vital to have someone represent the family before God to make sure God's Word is brought into the home and received by the family. This is the position of leadership God has given, the chain of command He has established.
It is so good because it transfers the greatest of all love into the home, it gives direction (Will of God), provides disciplines (children are raised in Ways of God), gives a proper view of God (He's talked about by dad), and provides a living example of the Christian faith. The father as a prophet is important to the wellness of the family.
So dads are we up to the challenge? Are we going to take the steps necessary and see that God indeed is our choice as a family, that "as for me and my house we will serve the Lord."
