Bible Verses For Father
A father’s role is filled with purpose, he guides, teaches, and shows love in quiet ways that often go unnoticed. These Bible verses offer encouragement and wisdom for dads everywhere, reminding us how important their example is. Whether you're honoring your father or seeking strength in your own role as a dad, may these verses inspire and uplift you.“The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.”
A father who walks in honesty and faith leaves behind more than memories, he leaves a path for his children to follow.
“Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”
Gentle guidance, rooted in love and faith, shapes a child far more than harsh words ever will.
“As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.”
The love of a caring father is just a glimpse of the deep compassion God shows to His children.
“The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.”
A child’s wise choices are a father’s quiet reward, bringing joy that no riches can replace.
“Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.”
A father’s words have power, spoken in kindness, they lift up; spoken in anger, they tear down.
“Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.”
Grandchildren bring joy, but a father’s true reward is the honor his children hold for him.
“For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God…”
A father leads best when he builds up, comforts in hard times, and gently points the way toward what’s right.
“My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching… When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you…”
The lessons of loving parents stay with us, they guide our steps, guard our nights, and shape our days.
“Whoever robs their father or mother and says, ‘It’s not wrong,’ is partner to one who destroys.”
Respecting our parents honors God; to treat them poorly brings harm not just to them, but to ourselves.

Poet: Alice Mortenson
Upon a rocky trail one day
I met a friendly pair,
A father and his little lad-
A storm was in the air.
The precipice was dangerous,
The wind was coming on,
But on that child's trusting face
Was joyfulness and calm.
My own heart quaked a bit with fear
Of what might lie ahead,
But when I said, "Aren't you afraid?"
The laddy shook his head,
Astonished at my ignorance,
"Oh, you don't understand,
Why, Mister, I can't be afraid
When Daddy holds my hand."
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
We know how much you love us so
You would do anything for us I know.
But today we want to wait on you
And let our love shower you too.

for any amount of gold.

When Daddy shaves and lets me stand and look,
I like it better than a picture-book.
He pulls such lovely faces all the time
Like funny people in a pantomime.

Happy times, sad times, great times
You were always there, not just sometimes!
Thank you Dad, you mean the world to me
Having you in my life makes me happy.
I can never repay all you have done
May the coming year bring fun and sun!
