As you read through the bible, consider those times around water, especially chaotic waters. Is the presence of God there? What is happening? Who is being changed and in what way?

God saves through the chaos in life. If you talk to anyone who has gray hair, you’ll hear stories about the Lord saving or bringing you through hard times. This is what God does because His presence is always there. Even when we can’t see it.

It is easy for me to judge Jonah’s rebellion. It is much harder to view my own shortcomings. I don’t even classify it as rebellion in my mind. This is because I know my good intentions, even when I don’t execute. Don’t get me wrong, Jonah’s response to God’s call is sickening. In spite of it, God acted graciously. He saved the sailors along with a whole nation. He even saved Jonah, but I’m getting ahead of myself. God’s grace covers you too. Just ask.

While this may not be received well in a men’s blog, I do not believe the importance of fatherhood has changed in the last few years. I believe men have felt more marginalized by society. That can be seen as a blow to men or a search for balance in a male dominated society. Either way, I don’t see the importance of fatherhood changing because it has always been and always will be important.
