Scripture: Proverbs 25-26
SHOW NOTES:
The book of Proverbs provides insight and guidance for relationships, including how to interact with kings, neighbors, enemies, fools, and sluggards.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.
– Proverbs 25:11-12
Our words can encourage and bless others, so it’s essential to choose them carefully. We should avoid boasting about things we won’t follow through on, and when we need to correct or admonish someone, it’s vital to do so kindly. Our words have the potential to be as precious as gold apples and beautiful ornaments, providing support and comfort to the souls of those around us.
A fool is a person who acts unwisely and lacks judgment or sense. Be cautious when using the word or referring to someone as a “fool.” Do not argue with a fool but rather refute the fool.
Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
– Proverbs 26:1
Who do we honor? Those who are worthy of recognition. Fools do not deserve to be honored. They consistently make poor choices and bad decisions—over and over—and do not learn from mistakes.

Scripture: Proverbs 27-28
SHOW NOTES:
The Book of Proverbs provides wise counsel and instruction for righteous living. Chapters 27 and 28 include many wise sayings for us to “chew on,” ponder, and meditate on. The depth of insight and knowledge in these two chapters provides guidance and direction for each of us.
Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
– Proverbs 27:17
It is our sincere desire to be righteous people. We cannot live righteously without the help of the Holy Spirit and Your strength and guidance. Fill us with Your wisdom and direct us according to Your perfect wisdom and purpose for our lives.
Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand all things.
– Proverbs 28:5
The heart reflects the true nature of a person. By examining our heart attitudes, we gain genuine self-awareness. Seek the Lord, and He will guide and direct your steps.

Scripture: Proverbs 29-30
SHOW NOTES:
The Book of Proverbs is filled with wise sayings and uses repetition as a teaching tool. In chapter 29, the conjunction “but” connects ideas that contrast each other.
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, BUT when a wicked man rules, people groan.
– Proverbs 29:2
As we work through these verses, pay attention to the contrasts between the righteous and the wicked. When we have righteous hearts and walk with God, we will show care and concern for others.
We can learn more about the Lord daily by studying His Word, praying, and meditating on Scripture verses. In chapter 30, the author admits that he has not acquired wisdom and does not know God well. He recognizes God’s word is true and pure.
Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
– Proverbs 30:5
Consider the small creatures of this world, for they are remarkably wise: ants, rock badgers, locusts, and lizards (Proverbs 30:24-28). These simple beings offer valuable lessons to each of us.

Scripture: Proverbs 31
SHOW NOTES:
The Book of Proverbs teaches moral and ethical principles which will lead to a wise life. The word “wisdom” (hokmāh) occurs 48 times in this book. The words “wisdom and instruction” (1:2a) complement each other because “wisdom” includes the idea of “skill” in living. The word for “instruction means “discipline.” No “skill” in living can be developed or perfected without “discipline.”
The final chapter in Proverbs offers sound words of advice – a mother to her son, the king. And, the closing verses share a beautiful portrait of a godly and wise woman.
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise. She guards her tongue, and she gives instructions with kindness.
– Proverbs 31:25-26
These words of instruction are valuable for both men and women to practice daily. Choose words carefully. Guard our tongues and speak with kindness. The Lord is our strength, and He will direct our steps.

Scripture: Psalm 65
SHOW NOTES:
When you look at the world around you, what do you see?
Your focus may go immediately to the struggles and trials in your life. It can be very difficult to notice the beauty and blessing around you when caught in the midst of a raging storm or standing in the center of trouble.
In this psalm, David draws our attention to the Lord as our Redeemer, Creator, and Provider. God hears our prayers. He can still the roaring waves and He provides generously for us. We can find satisfaction in the presence of the Lord.
