September 28

Introduction

Today’s reading begins with verses that recount the benefits of gentle answers and kind words and concludes with affirming the importance of having reverence for the LORD.

Scripture Reading 

Proverbs 15:1-33

Today’s Key Verse: Proverbs 15:33

Reverence for the LORD is an education in itself. You must be humble before you can ever receive honors.

Reflect

To have reverence for the LORD is a recurring theme throughout Proverbs (see 1:7; 9:10; 14:2, 26, 27; 23:17; 24:21). Proverbs 9:10 says, “To be wise you must first have reverence for the LORD. If you know the Holy One, you will have understanding.” In today’s reading, verse 33 associates having reverence for the LORD with receiving an education. Do you equate reverence for the LORD with gaining wisdom? In what ways do you demonstrate your reverence for the LORD?

Pray

Lord God, I yearn to grow day by day in your wisdom and to know you and have a deeper understanding of your ways. Teach me by your Word to live in ways that reflect reverence for you. Amen.
