You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind. And, Love your neighbor as yourself. –Luke 10:27
The No. 1 way a father provides for his family is to love God. What activities show that a father loves God? He prays, reads God’s Word, and attends and participates in church. He also tithes and gives offerings. He spends time each day visiting with his Father God. He carves time out of his day to listen for the voice of the Lord.
A father also provides for his family by loving others. He is patient and kind, not jealous, boastful or proud (1 Corinthians 13:4). He is available to teach and train others, including his children. The love of God through the father provides a sense of belonging and offers strength to overcome obstacles in life. A father provides for his family by making them feel secure and teaching them to love others.
