Bible Commentary

Proverbs 10:6

Righteousness attracts blessing — it sits upon the just person like a crown. But wickedness ultimately covers its own practitioners in the harm it causes.

Memory phrase: Righteousness is crowned with blessings.

Talk about it: What does it mean to have blessings 'on your head'? What blessings do you think God wants to pour on you?

Prayer: God, help me live rightly so Your blessings can rest on my life. Keep my mouth from harmful words.
