Take
Courage
And Be A Man
Scripture
2 “I am going where everyone on earth must someday go. Take courage and be a man.
3 Observe the requirements of the Lord your God, and follow all his ways. Keep the decrees, commands, regulations, and laws written in the Law of Moses so that you will be successful in all you do and wherever you go.
4 If you do this, then the Lord will keep the promise he made to me. He told me, ‘If your descendants live as they should and follow me faithfully with all their heart and soul, one of them will always sit on the throne of Israel.’
Observation
King
David knew that his son Solomon did not grow up a warrior like he grew up. Now
Solomon was to take on the responsibility of being the King of Israel and his
father’s words to him were, “Take courage and be a man.”
Good
words for any Dad to say to his son and it is a good word for me and you today,
“Take courage and be a man.”
We
live in a culture where men seem to forget that they are supposed to be men. So
many of us are “passive”. We need to man up! Men need to be men!
I
want the men of our church to be real men! Real men love their wives!
A
real man doesn’t dump all the responsibility of the household on his wife. If
he needs to work two or three jobs to meet the needs of his family he does it!
He doesn’t spend his time playing while his wife is out working to provide for
her family.
A
woman needs to respect her man and men need to love their wives. Let’s be the
kind of man that our wives can respect!
If
you are a woman and you are reading this let me tell you how you can help your
man be the man that you can respect. Praise him every time he does something
worthy of praise – no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.
Gals,
if you respect your man and praise him when he does something good it will help
him be the man that you want him to be and it will make it easier for him to
love you the way that you want to be loved!
Application
I
will encourage my sons to be the men that God wants them to be.
Prayer
