1 Kings 2:1-4

1 When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son.

2 "I am about to go the way of all the earth," he said. "So be strong, show yourself a man, 3 and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in his ways, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and requirements, as written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go, 4 and that the LORD may keep his promise to me: 'If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'

I am a big fan of David. Even on his deathbed, his first concern is in parenting Soloman... Showing him the way and encouraging him. Men, when you come home form a hard day at work, is your first concern with your children? Remember, our days here are numbered. Make them count.
