Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:10

Adversity is a test of genuine strength. The person who gives up under pressure reveals that their strength was not real — it was only surface-level. True strength persists through hardship.

Memory phrase: Do not give up in hard times.

Talk about it: What is one hard thing you did not give up on? How did you feel when you kept going?

Prayer: God, make me strong so I do not give up when things are hard.
