Fathers—The Glory of Children
Proverbs 17:6
6 Children’s children are the Crown of old men and the Glory of Children are their Fathers (who live Godly lives)
As a soldier He taught me a love for this great country and the flag of the United States of America (a flag that waves high on a flagpole in his front yard today). He Taught me to honor the office of the President—no matter who may hold that position, whether you agree with their politics or not. As a police officer, he taught me to respect all men—especially those in Authority. As an employee and later a boss, He taught me the value of a dollar and to have an appreciation for putting in a good hard day’s work.
As a father he taught me to “respect myself" and as a husband to love my wife and family by being a good provider and their biggest fan—always an encourager. And most recently as a grandfather/great-grandfather, he’s teaching me about taking time to cherish the rare and special moments in life. He’s still an Example of a Good Father to my family today
1 Thessalonians 2:8, 11
8 Having thus a fond affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you NOT ONLY the Gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you were dear to us
11 As you know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father does his children
Genesis 18:19 The Lord said of Abraham
19 For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgement; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him
Proverb: A statement of truth or a piece of advice
Proverbs 4:10
10 Children (instructions of a father…) Listen to me, do as I say, and you will have a long, good life NLT
Ephesians 6:1-3
Ps 55:23
23 The deceitful shall live out half of their days—you have a choice—and you can Choose Wrongly—Choose Wisely
My Advice To Fathers…
1. Walk in the Wisdom of God (Proverbs)
Proverbs 4:1-10
Psalm 92:14
14 Those that are planted in the house of the Lord shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing
2. Walk in Health (long life)
Deuteronomy 34:7
7 Although Moses was 120yrs old when he died, his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated (His eyesight was sharp and he still had a spring in his step TMB)
3 John 2
3. Walk in Peace and Safety and Stability
Deut 33:25
25 May the bolts of your gate be of iron and bronze. May you be secure all your days
25 So will your strength, your rest, and your security be AMP
4. Walk in Love and Forgiveness
5. Walk in Abundance—Be a Provider
1 Timothy 5:8
8 But if any man does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever
John 10:10 Let the Abundant Life Dominate you/your family
Psalm 112:1-3
1 Blessed is the man that fears the Lord, that delights greatly in His commandments
2 His seed shall be mighty upon the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed
3 Wealth and riches shall (always) be in his house
Job 36:11
11 If you obey and serve Him, you shall spend your days in prosperity and your years in pleasure
