Proverbs 23:24

READ AROUND THE VERSE

Verse 22 tells a son: listen to your father and mother.

Verse 23 is the center: buy the truth, and do not sell it.

Then verses 24 and 25 return to the parents.

Now they are full of joy.

The command sits inside a frame of family.

Wisdom is not only your private gain.

REAL LIFE

We often chase wisdom for ourselves.

A calmer mind. Fewer regrets. A better life.

This proverb adds a direction we forget.

Your choices do not stay with you.

They can reach the people who raised you.

A wise life can become their joy.

ONE SMALL STEP

Name one person who invested in you.

This week, make one wise choice they would be glad to see.

Not to earn their approval.

Because wisdom can become shared joy.
