Proverbs 14:26
In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence:
and his children shall have a place of refuge.
There is good reason to be confident with Christ in your corner and there is good reason for the children of such a man to feel secure. Men are called to be providers and when they fear the Lord, they provide their family with security. When everyone knows that dad is under God's authority, everyone sleeps better. God gives grace to the sons and daughters of the saints. He gives them a physical shield in the form of their father who points them to their spiritual shield, their Father in Heaven. If you want to take care of your children, take care to fear God. If you want them to look up to you when they are older, look up to God now while they are young and never look back.
The fear of the Lord is a man's strong confidence and his children's sure comfort.
