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 15 – Proverbs 15
Day 15 – Proverbs 15
Theme: The Power of Gentle Wisdom
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” (Proverbs 15:1 NIV)
Devotion:
Proverbs 15 reminds us that wisdom is often revealed in how we respond, especially in moments of tension. Gentle words have the power to bring peace, while careless speech can escalate conflict.
Living wisely means allowing God to shape our tone, our reactions, and our conversations. A gentle response reflects humility, self-control, and trust in God.
Reflection Question:
How can I practice gentleness and wisdom in my responses today?
