Men, the true sons of God will tune themselves to be led by the Spirit of God. Romans 8:14 says, "For as many as a led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." I believe we should make it our highest priority to learn and understand what it means to be led by the Spirit of God.
If we are going to be successful for God in our manhood and fatherhood we will of necessity need to discern between what is the voice of the Lord and the voice of our own logic and reason. Human logic and reasoning triumphed over Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Sad to say, logic and reason still triumphs over the voice of the Holy Spirit in many believers today. This includes our parenting; having children verses contraception, sterilization, and abortion; state education of our children, discipline, etc.
In all areas of our lives we are privileged to be led by the Holy Spirit, not only in religious matters. We men must also teach our children this great truth.
Be encouraged.
