The Hebrew Meaning of Fatherhood

The Hebrew Meaning of Fatherhood…

The Hebrew word for “father” is “av,” composed of the aleph and bet letters, representing an ox and a house. Thus, a father is the ox of the house, embodying strength and bearing ultimate responsibility.

As a father, you are called to be the strength of your family, a blessing from God. However, be cautious not to let your strength turn into stubbornness driven by anger, bitterness, or pride. Instead, channel your stubbornness into love, compassion, and mercy.

Tenderness, humility, and a willingness to apologize are essential qualities for a father. Be strong and stubborn in your love for those who rely on you, just as God is stubborn in His love for you.

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.  Luke 6:26

Today, strive to be stubborn in love, faith, joy, and righteousness.

Walk daily with God by your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
