There is a simple lesson in this verse for fathers who would like to be better leaders to their children.
First, our children must be "called" by us. That is, they must hear their name come from the lips of their dad. A son should know that his dad has confidence in him and not simply ignoring his potential.
Second, we see that Isaac "blessed" his son. Do we bless our sons or berate them? Instead of becoming our child's best critic, we should become the one that imparts everything godly to them. When we bless our sons, we are giving them the tools they need to succeed.
Finally, it is the duty and obligation of every father to give "direction" to their son. Proverbs 22:6 instructs parents to train up a child in the way he should go and the Apostle Paul 6 says to raise them in the admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4) . There is a path that seems right to every man, but like the Ethiopian in the book of Acts children need "some man should guide me" (Acts 8:31).
Dads should rise to the position of leading their homes by "calling", "blessing", and "directing."
