WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday June 9 – June 15
Dedicated Dads – Man as Chaplain

“So shall you know that I have sent this command to you, that my covenant with Levi may stand, says the Lord of hosts. My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. It was a covenant of fear, and he feared me. He stood in awe of my name. True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity. For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts.” - Malachi 2:4-7 ESV

A father’s role as the Chaplain, or spiritual leader of his family, is a high calling. As we wrote in our book Strong and Courageous:

Men, our spiritual leadership matters greatly. The numbers clearly demonstrate this fact. Consequently, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” is a powerful promise to do the best we can to influence our children toward serving the God we serve. It is also a prayer that the children raised in our home and in the church follow in our footsteps in the faith. Men, that is our role as chaplains. Lead by calling them to commitment while modeling it for them in a winsome way.

The prophet Malachi had some hard words for those tasked with spiritual leadership in his day: the priests, who were members of the tribe of Levi. He warned that their failure to honor God would bring serious consequences for their offspring. Their failure to walk with God, guard knowledge, and impart godly instruction brought harm upon their households and those they were called to influence. The priests of Malachi’s day fell embarrassingly short of God’s standard for their important calling.
