FATHERLY INSTRUCTIONS
Tobit 4:5-7
My son, remember the Lord our God all your days, and do not desire to sin or to disobey His commandments. Do righteousness all the days of your life, and do not walk in the ways of wrongdoing. For if you walk in the truth, you will be successful in your works. Do almsgiving from your possessions to all who do righteousness. When you do almsgiving, do not let your eye be envious. Do not turn your face away from any poor man, so the face of God will not be turned away from you.
Personal Challenge
Tobit was a godly, righteous man. He followed his God closely and did things in his life to glorify Him. He reminds us here that there comes a time in every father's life where it is necessary to pour our fatherly experiences and wisdom into our children's lives in order to bless them and prepare them for their opportunity of adulthood. The advice given here is still timely today. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
