Proverbs 16:31

Proverbs 16:31

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Grey hair is honourable — but the honour is conditional. Old age that has been spent in righteousness is a glorious crown; old age spent in wickedness is not honoured by this proverb. A long life rightly lived is one of the most beautiful things imaginable. This is also a call to the young: build now for a glorious later.

Memory phrase: Live right. Grow old gloriously.

Talk about it: What would it look like to live in a way that makes old age something glorious?

Prayer: God, let me live righteously all my days.
