(See Proverbs 3 & 4)
He spoke to his son about honoring the Lord with his money (Proverbs 3:9-10), debt (Proverbs 3:27-28), meditating on the Word (Proverbs 4:20-22), warned against sex with prostitutes and encouraged faithfulness to his wife. (Proverbs 5:1-23)
Fatherhood is a great honor and privilege with great responsibility. The principles that Solomon taught his son can be applied in any lifetime. In fact ALL scripture is give of God, and is profitable for teaching, reproving, correcting, and instruction in righteousness; that the man (or woman) of God may be completely equipped for all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) Fathers you can become the dad God wants you to be by meditating on the Word daily. If your earthly father did not set this example it is ok. God your Heavenly Father is the perfect role model. Let Him help you become the godly role model your children need so that they will learn to love the Lord with all their hearts and desire to do His will in their life.
May God give you a desire to search his Word and teach your children to reverence Him. In Jesus name..Amen.

Its cool that you wrote on this because I've just finished reading the book of Proverbs which was written in large part by Solomon. I must say this is definelty a book of great wisdom, and really is a powerful Word. My bible version (NLT) calls Proverbs a book which provides moral instruction. What a perfect example of a true man following the Word of God. Solomons instructions on being a good Christian easily applies being a good father. I pray that i may live up to the standards of being a good Christian father to my children.
