Ordinary Dads

Father’s Day inspires stories of famous and heroic fathers with whom you may not identify. You say, “What about ordinary guys like me?”

Let me tell you about a man in the Bible named Isaac. Isaac lived in the shadow of his far more famous father, Abraham. Isaac also had a famous son, Jacob, better known as Israel, whose name was later given to the nation.

Isaac lived to see God making his father’s descendants into a great nation. Even though Isaac himself really wasn’t all that famous, he was a link in the chain of faith. And sometimes that’s what we are. Our parents or our children may eclipse us in their significance, but we are the link that draws the generations together.

And that can be our significance – making the next generation great for God!
