Lead

David was a mighty warrior who conquered the enemies of Israel. He was a great king who led Israel into peace and security. So it is with Jesus, the Son of David. Born of human lineage, Jesus was fully man and fully God.

Peter’s instruction is not fancy or flowery. He is speaking to men in a concise and straightforward manner. Husbands must lead their homes. And they must lead God’s way. Failure here ends in a broken family…and a trail of broken hearts.

Let’s pray that God gives us the strength and courage to lead our children well.

Depend on him. He will take care of you.

Pray that God will give you an “understanding mind” to accomplish everything he has for you to do.

Let’s just worship God in thanksgiving. Reflect on all that God has done for you, provided for you, and how he has cared for you.

Parenting is intentional work. Let’s pray that God gives us the strength and courage to lead our children well.

From parents of children to presidents of companies, we must lead with tender shepherding, integrity of heart, and skillful hands.

Leading out of reverence for God . . . now that puts leadership in a truly biblical perspective.
