Your Fathers Blessing - Daily Devotional by Max Lucado

Luke concluded his gospel with these words: “Jesus led his followers as far as Bethany, and he raised his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he was separated from them and carried into heaven” (Luke 24:50-51).

To be blessed is to be validated. Even today, in parts of Brazil a child won’t leave the house without his parents’ blessing. Walking out the door they will ask, “Benção, Papai?” or “Blessing, Father?” They seek an endorsement from the most significant leader of their life—their father. They don’t want to leave the house without their father’s approval.

Perhaps you never knew your father’s blessing, never knowing how your father felt about you. If so, you, more than anyone, will treasure the moment in heaven when your heavenly Father blesses you.
