Bible Commentary

Proverbs 4:18

A life of righteousness grows in glory and light over time. Every wise choice adds more light until the full brightness of God's perfect day.

Memory phrase: My path gets brighter every day.

Talk about it: Have you watched the sun rise? How does the light grow? How is that like the path of a good person?

Prayer: God, make my path shine brighter and brighter as I walk with You.
