Father Knows Best
A good strong example of a family leader would be Joshua
in the Bible. He was a true spiritual leader and a strong man
of God. He was not one to let the circumstances of the
outside world convince him of defeat. Because of his strong
leadership and convictions, everyone looked up to him as a
father figure. Everyone but him and a few others were cut
short and fell in the wilderness journey because they would
not obey and follow God's instructions. Even today we still
fall short of who we will serve. Idols have been and still are
a major downfall in our success and failures. That is why
Joshua told the people to choose whom they would serve. If
they chose to serve the idols that their father's served, then
they should be prepared for God's wrath. But, his advice
was, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Josh. 24:15
