Bible Commentary

Proverbs 14:2

The way we live reveals whether we truly fear the LORD or not. Upright living is not merely moral behaviour — it is the visible expression of honouring God. A perverse way of life is ultimately a rejection of God, whatever one may claim with the mouth.

Memory phrase: Honest living honours God.

Talk about it: How does the way you live show what you really believe?

Prayer: God, let my life show I honour You.
