Being a father is a very difficult. Samuel was a great man of God, but Samuel failed as a father. First Samuel 8:3 says, Samuel's “sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.” King David was a man after God's own heart (I Samuel 13:14). David was a great king but a poor father. King Jehoshaphat was king of Judah. But Jehoshaphat allied himself with Ahab, the wicked king of Israel. This proved disastrous for Jehoshaphat and his oldest son, Jehoram.

SET A GOOD EXAMPLE: Proverbs 23:26; Ephesians 5:11; 2 Corinthians 6-17.
BE A GOOD PROVIDER: Luke 15:20; Luke 11:4.
Isaiah 38:1; Proverbs 5:23; 2 Timothy 3:16. Luke 10:27.
