Bible Commentary

Proverbs 1:29

Trouble comes when we turn away from God's knowledge and choose to ignore Him. Every bad outcome has a root — and often that root is turning away from God.

Memory phrase: Choose to respect God.

Talk about it: Do we choose to respect God every day?

Prayer: God, I choose to respect You today.
