Proverbs 18:4

Proverbs 18:4

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

Deep waters suggest profundity, depth, and life-giving quality. The wellspring — the source of a flowing stream — describes wisdom as a living, ever-renewing source rather than a stagnant pool. Wise words refresh, nourish, and have depth that cannot be immediately exhausted. The image calls hearers to value wisdom's speech as something to drink deeply from.

Memory phrase: Wise words refresh others.

Talk about it: How can your words be refreshing to someone today?

Prayer: God, fill my words with wisdom like deep water.
