Bible Commentary

Proverbs 11:18

Deceptive labour produces false results — the wicked think they are building something, but it is all illusion. In contrast, sowing righteousness — consistently doing right — produces a certain harvest. God guarantees the reward.

Memory phrase: Sow right, reap reward.

Talk about it: What does it mean to sow righteousness like planting a seed?

Prayer: God, help me sow righteousness every day.
