30 Day Challenge: A Walk Through Proverbsنموونە

Day Twelve

Read Proverbs 12

We know that lying is wrong, but Proverbs lays out the consequences of telling lies and telling the truth. Lying always has consequences that affect not only us but others too. Today we will look at the power of our words and of how we respond to what others tell us. As verse 15 says, “The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.”

Reflect 

What are some of the things the passage says about those who tell the truth?

According to the chapter, why is lying harmful? 

What is the difference between how the foolish and the wise respond to advice? 

Engage 

Have you ever seen the consequences of lying in your life? Maybe a lie you told or one that was told to you or someone you care about? What happened?

How do you respond to critique or correction?
