Proverbs 11:29

Proverbs 11:29

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

'Inheriting wind' is an image of emptiness — gaining nothing after all the trouble caused. Those who sow chaos in their own households will reap nothing lasting. And foolishness leads to servitude — ultimately you serve what is wiser than you. Character determines outcome.

Memory phrase: Build your home up.

Talk about it: How can even small things you do or say affect your whole family?

Prayer: God, help me build my family, not trouble it.
