Proverbs 29:13

Proverbs 29:13

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

This verse is a profound statement about common grace. The poor person and the deceitful person are very different — one is a victim of circumstances, the other a maker of wrong choices — but God sustains them both with life and sight. This is not an endorsement of deceit but a declaration that God's sustaining grace extends even to those who misuse it. It also calls us to see all people as image-bearers God keeps alive.

Memory phrase: God gives life to all.

Talk about it: Why does God keep giving life even to people who do wrong?

Prayer: God, thank You for giving life and light to everyone.
