Bible Commentary

Proverbs 15:24

Wisdom is not merely practical — it is eschatological. The wise person is on an upward path: toward God, toward life, toward eternal good. By staying on that path, they depart from the way that leads downward to death and destruction. The direction of our life matters infinitely.

Memory phrase: Wisdom leads us upward.

Talk about it: What does it mean to look upward in your life?

Prayer: God, keep my eyes on the upward path.
