30 Day Challenge: A Walk Through ProverbsНамуна

Day Twenty-Two 

Read Proverbs 22

Discipline is hard. No one likes being told that they messed up, and it can be difficult to tell someone that they need to change. The Bible tells us that discipline is extremely valuable when done right. In this chapter of Proverbs, we see that children who are instructed in the way they should go remember those teachings even when they are old (verse 6). 

Reflect 

What does verse 17 tell us? 

What do we need to apply our hearts to? 

Engage 

Has someone ever told you that you were wrong? How did you respond? 

When things don’t go our way, it is very easy to give up and react poorly. Pray that God would allow you to practice giving and taking advice.

An Extra Mile

Verse 18 of this chapter tells us to have the words of the wise ready on our lips. Try memorizing verses 17-19 as a start to keeping the Word ready on your lips.
