Happy Father’s Day!
“The father of godly children has cause for joy….”
Proverbs 23:24 NLT
This week we’re taking a break from our Bible study plan to have some fun and celebrate fathers! I don’t really have a lot to say, but I wanted to express gratitude on behalf of the rest of us for everything they do.
So, thanks, dads! In honor of your stunning strength, exceptional sense of humor, and overall coolness, I’ve collected some videos which showcase your amazing talents. Enjoy!
Awesome Dad Reflexes!
“The Lord your God is with you; the mighty One will save you.”
Zephaniah 3:17 NCV
Thanks, dads, for always being there to save us when we get into trouble. Your strength, speed, and spidey senses are astounding! When the swing breaks or the bicycle crashes or a random baseball bat is flying toward our face, we can count on you to keep us out of harm’s way.
Incredible Encouragement!
“Be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid of them and don’t be frightened, because the Lord your God will go with you. He will not leave you or forget you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV
Thank you, dads, for stepping in when we really need you. Sometimes this world’s a scary place, and it helps to know you’re right there with us, no matter what. When you’re by our side, you give us the courage to fly!
DAD JOKES!!
“A happy heart is like good medicine,
Proverbs 17:22 NCV
but a broken spirit drains your strength.”
What did the baby otter say to its dad? You are a dad like no otter. What did the pig give his dad for Father’s Day? Lots of hogs and kisses. When does a joke become a dad joke? When the punchline is apparent! The best dads are really punny. We love your bad, I mean dad jokes. Yoda best!
The video above was recorded by pastors of Radiant Church, which explains the “Happy Father’s Day Radiant!” message at the end. But I think we can expand that to all “radiant” fathers everywhere. Thank you for shining brightly in all you do for us!
“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.”
Daniel 12:3 NIV
This week’s Scripture passages focus on God, our heavenly Father. He is always there to save us when we get into trouble. He’s always right there with us, no matter what. He gives us strength and courage to spread our wings and fly. And He fills our hearts with overflowing joy!
“I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy.
John 15:11 NLT
Yes, your joy will overflow!”

About The Author
Christa
My vision for Wondertakings was to create a devotional blog for "nerdy" Christians like me. I do believe, as Socrates said, that wisdom begins in wonder. So I love to read or watch anything that inspires wonder and figure out what I can learn from it. I view it all through a Christian lens. I believe that God can and does speak through many sources in many ways, even if those speaking are not aware of it. I am not an expert in theology or religious studies. My goal with this blog is simply to share what I've learned as a fellow student and sinner in the Christian walk. My hope and my prayer is that by doing so I may be able to help someone else. In Deuteronomy 5:33 (NLT), we are told: "Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives. . . ." So in the words of Moses (and Spock), live long and prosper, my friends!
