God’s Strengthening Word: Learning From Biblical Teachingsنموونە

Introduction

Proverbs 4:1–27: A father instructs his children about the benefits of wisdom. Carefully following good advice is described as traveling along the right road.

Today’s Key Verse: Proverbs 4:13 GNT

Always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life—guard it well.

Reflect

What advice in today’s reading do you find most meaningful? Why? Who in your life has given you wise advice? How is the road traveled by the righteous compared with the road of the wicked (verses 18–19)? Where do these roads seem to lead? Read verse 23 again. Can you see in your experience the ways that “your life is shaped by your thoughts”? What things influence your thoughts?

Pray

Loving God, thank you for the people you have put in my life in my journey in faith. Thank you for your teachings that lead me along the right road. Amen.
