🌙 Proverbs 18

Proverbs 18 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “He who gives answer before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.” Proverbs 18 opens with these words: “An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.” The line to keep is Proverbs 18:2: “A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.” Carry the word “fool” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Proverbs 18:2: “A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Proverbs 18? Then try this: Read “A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
