Dads suck
Now obviously not all of them, but man have we dropped the ball as a gender. Like honestly, where do we get the idea that we can just up and leave? Or the notion that financial support is the…
When reading the books of Samuel and Kings I noticed that they all pretty much sucked as fathers. Even the greatest King in Isreal’s history, David seemed to raise at best a mediocre son who turned his heart from God and then had other apostate children. In the OT, people seemed to raise their kids similar to how birds raise their chicks. Just feed them until they are old enough to fly, and then let them take off without a second thought to their character. That is the only thing they consider. Now you could point to the spoils of being princes as partially corrupting them, but that is not an excuse. After seeing such failure, being a father seems very daunting. Definitely not a thing to take lightly. I need to prepare myself if this is what God has in my future.
