"And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God" (1 Chron. 25:5-7).
In the early 80s there was a cartoon called "Heman the Master of the Universe." Back then kids like me loved to watch cartoons with superheroes like Heman that fought against evil villains. But what children need today are real heroes. Let me tell you about a real He-man. David set apart a man named Heman as a musician to serve in the house of the Lord. God blessed Heman with 14 sons and 3 daughters. Concerning his children the bible says, "All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD." Heman took the time to train his children to play music unto the Lord in worship. Oh how we need fathers who will direct their children to worship and serve the Lord. "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).
Sadly, we have fathers who want to master the universe but have not mastered being a father in their homes. Fathers, be real Heman to your children by teaching them and more importantly showing them what it means to be a true worshipper of God.
