Bible Commentary

Proverbs 7:5

The purpose of treasuring wisdom is deeply practical: it guards us when we encounter those who would deceive us through flattery and manipulation.

Memory phrase: Wisdom protects me from tricky words.

Talk about it: Have you ever had someone say something very nice to you to get you to do something you should not? How did you know?

Prayer: God, let wisdom be my guard against people who say sweet things to lead me wrong.
