Being a father is a wonderful privilege, but it's also a tough job! What does it mean to be a “good” dad? Where do you even begin? In writing the book of Proverbs, King Solomon had a clear and simple goal for his son: To help him grow in wisdom. As fathers, we are called to help immature children become wise adults. Wisdom, of course, begins with knowing and revering the Lord. Our task, then, is to model a life of godliness and wisdom, and to coach our children toward a life that honors God. It isn't an easy job, but it's a critical one. There will be many ups and downs, but if we pray and persevere, we can trust that God is faithful.
