Proverbs 20:21

Proverbs 20:21

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

Seizing an inheritance too quickly — whether through impatience, manipulation, or simply rushing the process — does not lead to lasting blessing. The beginning may look good, but the end is not. This echoes the parable of the prodigal son: demanding your inheritance early leads to ruin.

Memory phrase: Hasty gain brings no blessing.

Talk about it: Why might getting something too fast be a problem?

Prayer: God, help me be patient and not grab what is not yet mine.
