The Faith of a Father

Hebrews 10:38 says “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” As a child, I watched my dad walk by faith when he could have drawn back from overwhelming circumstances. Watching him was such a spectacle. I often wondered what was the reason for his persistence. In Psalm 19:1-5 and in John 3:19-29 , the Bible paints a picture of faithfulness as bridegroom leaving his chamber and as a strong man running a race. About five years ago, I wrote about my observations from watching my Dad to celebrate him and other faithful fathers on Father’s day.
