Bible Commentary

Proverbs 7:16

Sin is often sold on the packaging — attractive surroundings, beautiful descriptions, appealing imagery. Wisdom looks past the packaging to the destination.

Memory phrase: Beautiful packaging does not make something safe.

Talk about it: Have you ever seen something beautiful that turned out to be not good? A food, a game, or something else?

Prayer: God, help me see past beautiful descriptions to what is really true and good.
