Proverbs 21:22

Proverbs 21:22

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

Military strength and fortifications seem unbeatable, but wisdom finds the way through or over them. This is a proverb about the surprising power of wisdom over brute force — brain over brawn. The mightiest defences in the world cannot withstand someone with genuine wisdom.

Memory phrase: Wisdom overcomes great power.

Talk about it: Can you think of a time when being smart and wise won over just being big and strong?

Prayer: God, give me wisdom stronger than any wall.
