Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. May praying through the Proverbs lead you into a deeper knowledge of and relationship with Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Proverbs 1:10
New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not consent.

Abba, in the name of our Lord Jesus, Your servant praises You. 

Bless You, for placing us on Your paths of righteousness. That You would call us sons and take us into Your heavenly family is a comfort and encouragement that gives hope to the hopeless. Thank You for teaching us as we read Your Word and meditate on Your wisdom. Keep those that would entice us far away and help us to show them that Your path is the only one leading to life. Grant us such a keen discernment that we can spot all wickedness and sin and flee from it. Make it so even the thought of sin would be repulsive to us. And when we are asked for a reason for our joyful spirit and a clear conscience, we would quickly and bold proclaim Your glorious name.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
