  Speaker 1: It's time for today's word, The strengths of a godly Father.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Proverbs twenty and seven says the righteous man walks in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: his integrity, his children are blessed after him. You know,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: as we approach Father's Day, it's important to remember that
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: one of the greatest gifts a father can give his
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: children is not wealth. It's not success or possessions, y'all,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: is integrity. Children may not remember every gift they receive,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: but they will always remember the example that was set
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: before them. In today's world, fathers carry tremendous responsibility. They provide,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: they protect, they encourage, they correct, and they lead. Often
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the sacrifices they may go unnoticed. You know, they do
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it all the time, and they do it thanklessly. Wake
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: up early, they work long hours, and they carry burdens
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: no one else sees. Yet they continue showing up because
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: they understand their role is bigger than themselves. The Bible
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: tells us that a righteous man who walks in integrity
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: leaves a blessing for his children. Notice it doesn't say
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a perfect man. None of us are perfect. Job it
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: says a righteous man someone who seeks God, admits mistakes,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and strives to do what's right even when it's difficult.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Children learn more from what they see than from what
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they hear. When a father chooses honesty overcome fromise, faith
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: over fear, and perseverance over quitting, he's teaching lessons that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: will last a lifetime. Perhaps you're a father who feels
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like you're falling short. Maybe you wish you could do
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: more or be more. Remember that God is not asking
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you for perfection. He's asking you for faithful See. Your
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: prayers matter, your presence matter, your example matters. And for
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: those whose fathers have gone on to be with the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Lord and who grew up without a father, remember that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: our heavenly Father fills every void. He is a faithful
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: God where others have failed, and present where others have
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: been absent. This week, let's celebrate the fathers who have
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: stood strong, sacrificed much, and pointed their families toward God.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, thank you for the gift of fathers
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and father figures who have poured wisdom, love and guidance
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: into our lives. Strengthen every father who is carrying heavy
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: responsibilities today. Help them lead with integrity and courage and faith.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And for those who are missing their fathers this season,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: remind them that you are the perfect father who never
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: leaves or for sakes is children in Jesus' name. Now
