Genesis 28:20-21 - "And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then shall  the LORD be my God."  Jacob here has just awoken from a dream where the Lord met with him.  As husbands and fathers, we need to daily ask God to provide for our families both physically and spiritually.  - Phil Dann

Ephesians 6:4 - "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." - I was thinking about this familiar verse the other day when I saw my son frustrated with a Lego. He couldn't quite get the pieces together. It made me realize how I get to model our Heavenly Father before my children. When the pieces of life just don't seem to fit, and we can't make sense of it, we have a father we can go to for help. It might start with a small toy, but we as fathers are laying the foundation of trust, kindness and patience in our children's lives that we want them to see in God. - Matthew Stephens

2 Samuel 7:14a - "I will be his father, and he shall be my son." Psalm 27:10 - "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up." The failures of earthly fathers can be healed, and all our needs for fathering met by our true Father, God. His love and strength can altogether fill that void. It's an amazing offer to the deepest needs of our hearts. - Daniel Holser

Psalm 34:15 - "The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry." In any temptation, any trial, any situation, God hears...no, He's listening for...the cry of His child. - Steve Boots
