Proverbs 23:24 What Makes A Dad Dad God took the strength of a mountain The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calmness of a quite sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle s flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, So He called him Dad
10 Scripture quotes about being a good Father There is nothing easy about being a dad. Especially nowadays, if conversations around the water-cooler are anything to go by. Well, we hear your pain. But, an honest look at history reveals a comforting familiarity to the foundational premise. Fact is: dads have been throwing their hands up in the air for literally thousands of years. Fortunately for us, this means we don t have to reinvent the wheel. The following 10 things are quotations from Scripture about being a father: 1. Don t provoke your children (Ephesians 6:4) The alternative, the scripture suggests, is to raise them to be young people of faith. 2. Be your child s First Teacher (Proverbs 22:6) It s our responsibility to train up a child in the way he/she should go. Not the school, not the government, but you and that means dad. 3. Dads need to exemplify a good life (2 Cor. 3: 2-3) Scripture teaches that who we are and how we live is like a letter from God. Our kids read that letter, every day. 4. Provide for your family (I Tim. 5: 8) This idea covers more than rent and food. As dads it s our responsibility to make sure our family s needs are addressed across the board. No ducking out of this one. 5. Good dads discipline their children (Proverbs 13: 24) The one who loves their children, scripture says, is careful to discipline them. This is also about proactive leadership in our homes. 2

6. Dads spend time with their children, and it s not empty time (Deut. 6: 6-9). The scriptures are clear that dads must engage their children in the kind of deep, heart-to-heart conversations that impart more than facts, but teach wisdom. Schedule some regular conversational walks with your children, one on one. Family time that counts. 7. Compassion is a dad characteristic As a father has compassion on his children, Psalm 103:13 points out, so the LORD has compassion. 8. Put your money where your mouth is Well, not in those exact words. But James 1:22 instructs us to not only be hearers of God s word, but doers also. 9. Dads never give up on their kids The story of The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:20-24) is the story of a father who never gives up hope and is ready to receive his child back with open arms. We can discipline, we can hold accountable, but we must never give up. 10. Dads pray for their children (1 Chronicles 29:19) King David prayed for his son, Solomon. Children who know without any doubt that their dads pray for them every day own a deep sense of love and security.
