This message is a reminder to fathers that they, too, have a Father in Heaven to whom they can entrust the burdens and challenges of fatherhood. It also considers how, in our modern age, many men wrestle with the perception that their entire identity is wrapped up in their fruitfulness or productivity. When that ability to produce is diminished or lost, it can register psychologically as though they have lost not only their purpose but even their right to exist. This is one of the ways the enemy attacks our identity, just as he sought to undermine Christ's identity during His temptation in the wilderness.

Devotion to GOD's teachings, the written WORD which bears witness about CHIRST, means we read the WORD for our own self transformation.

As the church, our journey is as much about community as it is about our personal journey with HIM. As followers of CHRIST, we are invited to us to fulfil the desire of becoming all that GOD has created us to be through our devotion to HIM. We are therefore expected to act wise by staying aware of the seasons we are in, both in our individual journey and church community.
