Exodus 20:12 is another reading in the bible that deals with Fatherhood.

To me Exodus 20:12 talks about how children should anyways honor their father and mother.  This is also part of the Ten Commandments as well.

This talks to us fathers in a way we need to teach our children to honor us as we honor our own father and mother.  Children learn by example that we teach them.  

So make sure you are doing what you are teaching.

Here are two different bible translations of Exodus 20:12

Exodus 20:12

New International Version (NIV)

12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

 

Exodus 20:12

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

12 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Psalm 103:13 is another reading in the bible that deals with Fatherhood.

To me psalm 103:13 talks about how we as fathers and dads should have compassion with our children even if they do something bad..

We need to treat our kids in the way we want everyone else to treat them as well as how we want God to treat us.  Since we are all children of God.

This also tells fathers to raise their children up with good values, kindness, and love like it is taught in the bible. 

These truly talk to us as fathers and dads to how to raise our children in general.

Here are two different bible translations of Psalm 103:13

Psalm 103:13

New International Version (NIV)

13 As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

 

Psalm 103:13

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

13 As a father has compassion for his children,
    so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.

Psalm 23 is one of my favorite readings in the bible. When I feel nervous or fear for any reason, this reading helps me calm down and realize that God is by my side through this journey. If you have kids then you know the nervous and fearful feelings of a parent.

To me Psalm 23 talks about how you are not alone and to put your fears and trust into God. It also states how goodness and mercy will follow you until the end.

Here are two different bible translations of Psalms 23

 

Psalm 23

New International Version (NIV)

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[1]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

  1. Psalm 23:4 Or the valley of the shadow of death

 

Psalm 23

English Standard Version (ESV)

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[1]
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[2]
for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[3]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely[4] goodness and mercy[5] shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell[6] in the house of the Lord
forever.[7]
