Bible Commentary

Proverbs 15:14

The wise person is never satisfied with what they already know — they hunger for more knowledge. Fools, by contrast, feast on foolishness: empty words, pointless entertainment, and harmful ideas. What we feed our minds reveals our true character.

Memory phrase: Wise hearts keep learning.

Talk about it: What are you feeding your mind with every day?

Prayer: God, give me hunger for Your wisdom.
