In today's passage, Proverbs 16:16, we are told that it is better to get wisdom than gold, and to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. Wisdom is the skillful application of understanding or knowledge, while understanding is the ability to comprehend something. Both are important, but wisdom is what allows us to put our understanding into practice. As Christ followers, we have been given the Holy Spirit and access to a greater understanding of the world. We should use this understanding to make a difference in the world by helping others move closer to Jesus. We can do this by sharing our faith, praying for others, and simply being a blessing to those around us. Let's not let a day pass without moving one notch closer to Jesus and allowing Him to transform our world.

The passage for today is Proverbs 15:8. It says, "The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight." This verse tells us that God is pleased with the prayers of the righteous. This means that when we pray to God with a sincere heart, He is happy to hear from us. Prayer is a powerful way to connect with God and to experience His love and peace. It is also a way to ask God for help and guidance in our lives. Let's all make an effort to pray more often. Let's talk to God about everything that is on our minds and hearts. He is always listening and He is always ready to help us. Prayer is a gift from God. Let's all take advantage of this gift and make it a regular part of our lives.

 The passage for today is Proverbs 13:20. It says, "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." This verse tells us that the people we surround ourselves with have a big impact on our lives. If we spend time with wise people, we will become wiser. But if we spend time with fools, we will suffer harm. We should be careful about who we choose to spend our time with. We should seek out wise people who can help us grow in our faith and become more like Jesus. We should also avoid spending time with fools who will lead us astray. Let's all strive to be wise and to surround ourselves with wise people. Let's also pray for the fools in our lives, that they would come to know Jesus and become wise.   https://www.facebook.com/followerofone https://instagram.com/followerofone1 https://twitter.com/followerofone1  https://www.linkedin.com/company/follower-of-one  

 The passage for today is Proverbs 12:15. It says, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice."

When we are open to correction, we are more likely to make good decisions and avoid making mistakes. We are also more likely to be successful in our relationships with others. Let's all remember that we are not always right. Let's be open to listening to advice from others and let's be willing to change our minds when we are presented with new information.

 The passage for today is Proverbs 11:2. It says, "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom." This verse teaches us that pride leads to disgrace, while humility leads to wisdom. Pride is thinking too highly of ourselves, while humility is thinking of ourselves rightly. When we are proud, we are more likely to make mistakes and to be embarrassed. When we are humble, we are more likely to learn from our mistakes and to grow in wisdom. We can avoid pride by being aware of our own weaknesses and limitations. We can also avoid pride by being grateful for what we have and by acknowledging the good in others. We can grow in humility by spending time with God in prayer and by reading the Bible. We can also grow in humility by serving others and by putting their needs before our own. Humility is a valuable virtue that can help us to live more fulfilling lives. When we are humble, we are more likely to be happy, healthy, and successful. We are also more likely to be a positive influence on others. Let's all strive to be humble and to avoid pride. Let's remember that with the humble is wisdom.

 The passage for today is Proverbs 10:4. It says, "A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich." This verse tells us that if we are lazy and do not work hard, we will be poor. However, if we are diligent and work hard, we will be rich. Diligence is characterized by steady, earnest, and energetic effort. It means that we are careful and intentional about our actions and that we bring our best energy to our work. When we are diligent, we are not just going through the motions. We are not just trying to get by. We are putting our heart and soul into our work and we are doing our best to make a difference. Diligence is important because it allows us to create wealth and to bless others. When we are diligent, we are able to provide for our families and to help those in need. We are also able to make a positive impact on our communities and the world. Let us all strive to be diligent in our work. Let us put our heart and soul into everything we do and let us make a difference in the world.

 The passage for today is Proverbs 9:8. It says, "Do not reprove a scoffer or he will hate you. Reprove a wise man and he will love you." This verse tells us that we should be careful about who we give advice to. If we give advice to someone who is not receptive to it, they will likely reject it and may even become angry with us. However, if we give advice to someone who is humble and willing to learn, they will appreciate it and may even love us for it. We can apply this verse to our lives by being mindful of the way we respond to correction. If we are humble and willing to learn, we will be more likely to accept correction and grow from it. However, if we are defensive and unwilling to listen, we will be more likely to reject correction and miss out on an opportunity to improve. Let's all strive to be wise people who are open to correction. When we are corrected, let's receive it with humility and love. This will help us to grow in our faith and become more effective in our work.

The passage for today is Proverbs 8:35. It says, "For one who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord." This verse tells us that wisdom is the key to finding life and favor from God. Wisdom is not the same as knowledge. Knowledge is information, but wisdom is the ability to use that information in a way that is beneficial. We can find wisdom by seeking God and asking Him to give it to us. We can also find wisdom by reading the Bible, which is full of wisdom from God. When we find wisdom, we will find life and favor from God. We will be able to make better decisions, and we will be more likely to succeed in our endeavors. We will also be more likely to please God and to live a life that is pleasing to Him. Let's all seek wisdom from God today. Let's read the Bible and ask Him to give us the wisdom we need to make good decisions and to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

The passage for today is Proverbs 7:1, 5. It says, "My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you so that they may keep you from an adulterous, from the foreigner who flatters with her words." Purity is important because every little bit matters. Every little lack of purity, every little impurity matters. Every little challenge matters. When we compromise even in the least, it matters. However, the good news is that every little thing we do can also matter forever. In Matthew 10, Jesus says that even when we give a cup of cold water, because we're a disciple, we shall not lose our reward. Let's ask God to show us where we're being lazy when it comes to purity. Let's ask Him to show us where we're tolerating just doing what we've always done. Because when we do what we've always done, we get what we always got. Today, let's attack our own purity. Ask God what He would have you change and then use the next five minutes to do something about it.

The passage for today is Proverbs 6:2-4. It says, "If you have been ensnared by the words of your mouth or caught by the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, and save yourself. Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, go humble yourself and be urgent with your neighbor to free yourself. You have no sleep to your eyes nor slumber to your eyelids." This passage is telling us that if we have said something that we regret, we should humble ourselves and apologize to the person we offended. We should do this quickly, before the situation gets worse. This is important because it shows that we are taking responsibility for our actions and that we are willing to make things right. It also helps to restore the relationship that was damaged by our words. When we humble ourselves and apologize, we are showing that we are more concerned about the other person's feelings than we are about our own pride. This is a Christ-like attitude, and it is one that we should all strive to have. If you have said something that you regret, don't wait to apologize. Humble yourself and make things right. It will be worth it in the end.
