A Father’s Faithful Legacy (Kab Lis Kev Ntseeg Ntawm Ib Leej Txiv)

Proverbs 20:7 (NKJV) (Paj Lug 20:7)
“The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.”
“Tus neeg ncaj ncees taug kev hauv nws txoj kev ncaj ncees; Nws cov me nyuam tau txais koob hmoov tom qab nws.”
In every generation, the role of a father is important and necessary—not just as a provider or protector, but as a spiritual guide. Proverbs 20:7 paints a picture for us of a father whose righteousness does not just benefit himself but also it blesses his children. His integrity becomes their foundation, his consistency becomes their comfort, and his faith becomes their inheritance.
Whether we are biological fathers, spiritual fathers, or father figures in our communities, the impact we leave behind matters. In Scripture, we see examples of faithful fathers like Abraham, who believed God’s promises and passed that faith down. We also see the failings of others in the bible that are reminders to us that our choices echo beyond our own lives.
God calls all fathers to walk in integrity, to be men of prayer, of strength, and of grace. And though no father is perfect, our Heavenly Father fills in the gaps where fathers may fail. Our Father God is the model for all fatherhood—loving, just, forgiving, and ever-present. When we as earthly fathers reflect even a glimpse of God, we pass down a legacy that endures far beyond this life.
Let us celebrate and challenge fathers today to stand firm, love deeply, and leave a godly legacy.
Ntawm txhua tiam neeg, tes haujlwm ua ib leej txiv tseem ceeb thiab muaj nuj nqis heev. Ib leej txiv zoo tsis yog muaj kev pab thiab kev tiv thaiv xwb, tiamsis nws tseem ua tus coj kev rau sab kev ntseeg thiab.
Paj Lug 20:7 qhia txog ib leej txiv uas nws txoj kev ncaj ncees tsis yog pab nws tib leeg xwb—tiamsis txoj kev ncajncees ntawm nws tseem ua koob hmoov rau nws tej menyuam huv tibsi. Nws txoj kev ncaj ncees yuav ua tau tej menyuam lub hauv paus pib lawv lub neej. Nws txoj kev ruaj khov yog lawv qhov chaw cia siab. Nws txoj kev ntseeg yuav yog lawv tej qub txeeg qub teg.
Txawm tias peb yog leej txiv tiag ntawm tej menyuam, los yog ib leej txiv rau lwm tus ntawm kev ntseeg, los yog ib leej txiv uas saib xyuas zej zog xwb los peb tes haujlwm yeej tseem ceeb. Hauv Vajtswv toxjlus peb pom coob tus uas yog cov piv txwv ntawm cov leej txiv ntseeg Vajtswv xws li Aplahas, uas ntseeg Vajtswv tej lus cog tseg kuj ua rau nws kev ntseeg ntawd ntws deb mus rau yav tom ntej. Tsis tas li xwb, peb kuj pom coob tus uas poob kev—uas ceeb toom peb tias peb tej kev txiav txim siab yuav muaj kev cuam tshuam mus ntev.
Vajtswv hu txhua tus uas yog leej txiv kom lawv taug txoj kev ncaj ncees, ua ib leej txiv uas muaj kev teev Vajtswv, muaj zog, thiab muaj kev hlub thiab zam. Txawm tias tsis muaj ib leej txiv twg zoo tag nrho los peb tus Vajtswv nyob saum ceebtsheej yeej yuav pab ntxiv rau yam twg uas tu ncua. Vajtswv yog tus qauv zoo ntawm txhua tus uas yog leej txiv—uas hlub, ncaj ncees, zam txim, thiab ib txwm nyob ze. Thaum peb txhua tus uas yog ib leej txiv hauv ntiajteb ua tau ib feem me me ntawm Vajtswv, tej ntawd yuav ua kab lis kev cai uas yuav kav ntev dhau mus rau yav tom ntej.
Cia peb ua kev zoo siab thiab txhawb cov leej txiv hnub no kom lawv sawv ruaj, hlub tiag, thiab tawm ib txoj kab lis kev cai uas zoo li Vajtswv.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the fathers and father figures in our lives. Strengthen them to walk in Your ways. Let their legacy be one of righteousness and grace. Father God, for all those who feel they have fallen short, remind them that You are the God of second chances. Let every father reflect Your love, truth, and strength. In Jesus’ name, amen.
