Proverbs 3:34

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Pride pushes God away, but humility draws His grace close. This is one of the most important principles in all of Scripture.

Memory phrase: God gives grace to the humble.

Talk about it: What is the difference between being proud and being humble?

Prayer: God, make me humble so that I can receive Your grace.
