Proverbs 14:30

Proverbs 14:30

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

Inner peace and contentment are physically and spiritually life-giving. Envy — wanting what others have and resenting them for it — is corrosive. It does not merely cause emotional harm; it destroys the whole person. The contrast is striking: life versus rottenness.

Memory phrase: Peace inside brings life.

Talk about it: How can wanting what others have hurt you on the inside?

Prayer: God, give me a peaceful, content heart.
