Today's verse

“Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square.”

Proverbs 1:20 · NIV

The Story

You know when you're all focused on playing or on your tablet, and mom calls you for dinner, but you barely hear her? God's wisdom is a little bit like that: it's always calling us toward the right path, all the time. It never hides!

It's in the Bible, in your parents' advice, in the voice in your heart when you know what's right. But we need to stop the noise and listen. Whoever listens to good advice avoids a lot of headaches and lives happier and safer.

And the most important voice to listen to is Jesus's, who always calls us toward the best path.

Wisdom is free for anyone brave enough to stop and listen.
