Passage: Proverbs 3:21-26*

21. My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight;

22. they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.

23. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble;

24. when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

25. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

26. for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.

1. Commit yourself to discovering Biblical wisdom.
