Beginning the Year Rooted in God’s Wisdom
Join us in January as we intentionally walk through Proverbs in 31 days, starting the new year rooted in God’s wisdom and committed to living set apart.
Day 18 – Proverbs 18
Theme: The Wisdom of Listening
“To answer before listening—that is folly and shame.” (Proverbs 18:13 NIV)
Devotion:
Proverbs 18 highlights the importance of listening before speaking. Wisdom grows when we seek to understand rather than rush to respond.
Listening well reflects patience, respect, and discernment. When we slow down and listen, we honor others and invite God’s wisdom into our conversations.
Reflection Question:
How can I be more intentional about listening today?
We’d love to hear how this reflection spoke to your heart—share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
