Father Abraham
In our culture today we see a lot of importance given to the mother, especially by the sons. It is a common understanding that the daughters love the father more and the mothers love the son. So in a house where there are no daughters, the fathers normally get lesser attention.
I am not going to say that fathers are more important than mothers, but I will surely say that both are equally important and blessed are the children who have both of them in their life. I would like to thank God for giving me such a wonderful father and mother. Both of them have been very affectionate, loving, caring and leading.
There is no mention of father’s day in the Bible, but I would like to mention about one particular day from the bible where the faith of a father was tested. And this test was initiated by God.
Genesis 22:1 and it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
This is rather absurd requirement from God, especially because God had promised Abraham with children as numerous as the sand and the stars and Isaac was the promised child. Over here we see the jealousy of God and the love of a father for his son highlighted. The bible says in Exodus 34:14 for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Even though God loved Abraham, he still tested him, in order to bless him more in future.God is the ultimate investor and he invest’s in people’s lives. He has better investment plans than Rowan Dartington. Many times God requires unimaginable things from us. This is not to put us in trouble, but only to see our commitment and love for Him, so that He could bless us more.
While reading this passage from the Bible I was thinking why God tested Abraham. Why did He test the love of father and not that of a mother? Is it because the father’s love is deeper? We normally tend to think fathers don’t care. But in this divine intervention we see the proof of the love of a father, which even made the Sovereign God Jealous. So if you have not been thinking right about your father, make sure you make him feel good and do everything that is due to him. Fathers also love their children and many times even more than mothers.
