Bible Commentary

Proverbs 5:20

God asks why we would chase what is wrong when He has already given us so much that is good. Loyalty to family and to God's ways is always the better choice.

Memory phrase: I stay loyal to my family.

Talk about it: Why is it better to treasure the family God has given you than to look for something else?

Prayer: God, help me be loyal to my family and not chase after wrong things.
