September 11
Introduction
Proverbs 15:1–33: 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.
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 deep reverence or respect (most translations use the word “fear”) for the LORD is a recurring theme in the book of 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 says that reverence for the LORD teaches wisdom. In what ways can respecting God enhance your knowledge and growth in wisdom?
Pray
Lord God, I yearn to grow day by day in your wisdom. I want to know you better and have a deeper understanding of your good ways. Teach me by your Word to live in ways that reflect reverence and obedience to you. Amen.
