Pastor teaches his family a selection from "the Proverb of the day." In these two verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us the action (listen diligently), attitude (bow our ears), and addition (dispense wisdom to others with your lips). The devotional, on Proverbs 5:1–2, calls believers to actively and reverently engage with divine wisdom through attentive listening and humble submission. It emphasizes that true wisdom is not merely acquired through external practices but cultivated through intentional worship, meditation, and a posture of reverence before God's Word. The passage highlights a transformative purpose: to preserve discretion and guard knowledge so that one's words may pass wisdom to future generations.
