Bible Commentary

Proverbs 30:29

Agur now turns from wise small creatures to things of impressive bearing — creatures and people that move with dignity, authority, and grace. This is an appreciation of God-given excellence: not arrogance, but the proper confidence of something or someone fully inhabiting what they were made to be. There is a rightness and beauty to things functioning in their God-designed purpose.

Memory phrase: Move with God-given grace.

Talk about it: What is a creature that moves in a way that fills you with wonder?

Prayer: God, help me live well the life You made me for.
