Proverbs 21:5 (NIV) “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.” It happened in seconds. A fisherman set his net too close to shore, eager for a quick catch. The first tug was exciting fish trapped inside. But the second tug was heavier. He pulled harder… only to […]
MOREProverbs 20:30 (NIV) “Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.” It doesn’t take much to notice it. A tree that’s been scarred by a storm often grows stronger on the other side. The broken limb forces it to root deeper. The stripped bark heals into a tougher surface. What looked […]
MOREProverbs 19:2 (NLT) Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes. Read this slowly: Most people don’t ruin their life in one big decision. They ruin it one fast decision at a time. It’s the job you take without praying. The relationship you commit to without counsel. The words you speak without thinking. We […]
MOREProverbs 18:13 (NIV) “To answer before listening that is folly and shame.” Devotional Reflection: It usually starts so small. Someone shares their story, and before they’re finished, your mind is already forming an answer. Not because you don’t care but because you think you already know what they need to hear. The danger is that […]
MOREProverbs 17:1 (NIV) “Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.” Devotional Reflection: Some people win arguments but lose relationships. Some people fill their homes with stuff but drain them of peace. It’s possible to have everything you wanted and not enjoy a single bit of it […]
MOREProverbs 16:24 (NIV) “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Devotional Reflection: Words are invisible arrows once released, you can’t pull them back. They can pierce, or they can heal. They can poison a soul for years, or they can lift a spirit in seconds. We often underestimate […]
MOREProverbs 15:18 (NLT) “A hot-tempered person starts fights; a cool-tempered person stops them.” Devotional Reflection: Anger doesn’t need a plan it just needs a spark. One careless word. One wrong tone. One delay in traffic or an offense on social media… and boom. You’re not responding you’re reacting. But here’s the deception: anger feels like […]
MOREProverbs 14:12 (ESV) “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” Devotional Reflection: Not every “good feeling” leads to a godly outcome. Not every “right path” is the right one. We live in a world that glorifies instinct: “Trust yourself. Follow your heart. Do what […]
MOREProverbs 13:20 (NLT) “Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” Devotional Reflection: You don’t just become like the people you admire you become like the people you’re around. Proverbs reminds us that wisdom is contagious but so is foolishness. The people closest to you either sharpen your purpose […]
MOREProverbs 12:15 (NKJV) “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise.” Devotional Reflection: You can feel right and still be completely wrong. Proverbs warns us about the danger of being wise in our own eyes. The problem isn’t just poor choices it’s the illusion of […]
