God’s Word shows who you truly are as a husband and dad. We can also get a glimpse of what you can become with His help. Psalms 112:6-10 offers guidance that can help you lead your family with wisdom and strength. #1 Be solid. He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord (Ps. 112:6-7). Even with unsettling news, you trust God to guide and give you what you need in His time. You set the example for how to live—through your words and actions. #2 Be steady. His heart is steady; he will not be afraid… (Ps. 112:8). When something bad happens, your wife/kids need to see your unshakeable faith. You trust Him and the peace that comes ONLY from Him. If something uncertain happens, you’re the first to take your family to prayer. #3 Be selfless. He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever… (Ps. 112:9). Being solid and steady is all about being selfless. People aren’t responsible for you—you’re responsible for others—and others come first.

Standing Firm in Faith With Jesus: Standing firm in faith requires intentional effort and reliance on God. By spending time with Him, resisting temptation, and embracing challenges, we grow spiritually. Building a supportive community, using our spiritual gifts, and keeping our focus on eternity help strengthen our faith journey. Above all, standing firm begins with a personal relationship with Jesus, the foundation of lasting growth.

Psalm 112 For Husbands And Dads, Part 2: Like looking into a mirror, God’s Word shows us what we are as husbands and fathers…and it’s always an accurate reflection. Thankfully, it also gives us a glimpse of what we can become with God’s help. In this episode, we’ll continue the deep dive into Psalm 112 and learn more about how this Scripture passage can transform you into a spouse and dad who blesses his family and fits perfectly into God’s plans and purposes.

“When we are trusting in God, we are not shaken by the storms of life. Our hope is anchored in Him, not in our circumstances.” — Charles Stanley

Be steadfast. One more truth from Psalm 112:10, The wicked man sees it and is angry…the desire of the wicked will perish (Ps. 112:10). Do you walk around the house angry? Are you known in your home as The Complainer in Chief? Instead, be the example of grace and stability in your home. Instead of frustration, your focus is on God and His promises. Do this and your family might see a godly husband and dad.
