Proverbs 9:16

Proverbs 9:16

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Folly's invitation mirrors wisdom's word for word — this is the danger. Deceptive voices often use the same language as truth. Discernment requires more than listening to words.

Memory phrase: Not every invitation is good.

Talk about it: Have you ever been tricked by something that sounded like a good idea but turned out to be wrong? How can you tell the difference?

Prayer: God, give me wisdom to tell the difference between Your true invitation and things that just sound good.
