This summer, we encourage you to read through the book of Proverbs as part of your devotional time. With 31 chapters, it’s the perfect built-in devotional for reading one chapter daily! Our Bible Bite episodes will follow along, with Amy choosing a verse or section from that week’s reading to explore on a deeper level. Today, we look at Proverbs 31 as Amy dives into some sweet advice for us from a biblical mom.
Proverbs 31:1-9
"The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!
Do not spend your strength[a] on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.
It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,
lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy."
