Dads! Who’s Watching You?
Several years back Rodney Atkins sang a song titled “watching you”. It was about a dad
and his son; and the amazing influence a father has over their children’s behavior. The
lyrics go something like this:
Driving through town, just my boy and me with a happy meal in his booster seat…
A green traffic light turned straight to red, I hit my brakes and mumbled under my
breath… Then my four year-old said a four letter word I said, "Son, now where did you
learn to talk like that?"
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you."
We got back home and I went to the barn I bowed my head and I prayed real hard,
Said, "Lord, please help me help my stupid self." Later that night at bedtime I walked by
his room, he turned on his Scooby Doo nightlight, crawled out of bed and he got down
on his knees, and closed his little eyes, folded his little hands and spoke to God like he
was talking to a friend, And I said, "Son, now where'd you learn to pray like that?"
He said, "I've been watching you, dad, ain't that cool?
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
I wanna do everything you do
So I've been watching you."
Being a godly example is not only challenging at times, but honestly we aren’t consistent
enough for the impressionable eyes of our children, (Rom 3:23). As much as we’d like
to be remembered for the amazing godly things we may do occasionally, it’s the
everyday things that leave the longest impression.
Paul had spent some time helping a group of believers be more like Christ by exposing
them to teachings and trying to be an example to them. He said in 1 Thess 1:5-6, “You
know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became
imitators of us and of the Lord…” The reality is that takes more focus than we often
times acknowledge.

Bible study - 10:00 am
Evening Bible Study and
Devotional
- 6:30 pm.
The scriptures are packed with inspired teachings to help father, mother, or child know
how to be more consistent, but it seems they all end up pointing to just a handful of
basics. But consider how to put this passage into practice, “So now faith, hope, and love
abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (1 Cor 13:13). Dads, love like this,
and live like this, and you WILL make a lasting impression.
