Proverbs 11:22

Proverbs 11:22

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

This striking image illustrates the absurdity of beauty without wisdom. A gold jewel adorning a pig is grotesque and misplaced — equally out of place is a physically attractive person without discretion (careful, godly thinking and self-control). True beauty includes inward character.

Memory phrase: Beauty needs wisdom too.

Talk about it: Why does being wise make a person more beautiful?

Prayer: God, make me wise and beautiful in character.
