Sometimes this fathering gig can get a little overwhelming. A lot of the time I have this creeping feeling of inadequacy for the job. Sure I can take care of the physical needs easily enough...food on the table *check*...roof over the head *check*...
But emotional and spiritual needs are a little harder. Meeting each of my four kids "where they are", understanding their hearts, and providing the guidance they need seems like a daunting task most days. Of course, in and of myself I am insufficient. That's why this verse from 2 Corinthians 3:5 is such an important verse for a modern-day dad to grasp:
Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God2 Corinthians 3:5
As dads we must remember that God is the source of sufficiency to meet the needs of our children.
