Today’s Key Verse: Proverbs 13:9 GNT

The righteous are like a light shining brightly; the wicked are like a lamp flickering out.

Reflect

What proverbs in today’s reading speak of the value of wisdom and good advice? What can you learn from these teachings? What do verses 2 and 3 teach about the words we say? What do verses 1 and 10 teach about arrogance? In what righteous ways can you be “like a light shining brightly” (verse 9)?

Pray

Faithful God, your teachings are a fountain of life. As I strive to be righteous and like a light shining brightly, may my words and actions reflect your teachings and gracious love. Amen.
