Monday's Devotional - 6/29/2026

Good morning! My daughter will be a senior this year. It is scary, exciting and bewildering all at the same time. Time is a thief and it waits for no one. It is hard to believe how time has gone by so quickly. But I am very proud of the young lady she has become. I celebrate this milestone, but more than that, her faith in Jesus makes me most proud.

This verse highlights the deep joy that comes when a child chooses a path of wisdom and righteousness. While parents naturally celebrate achievements and milestones, the greatest source of joy is seeing their children develop godly character and walk in obedience to the Lord. Wisdom is not merely knowledge; it is the practical application of God’s truth in everyday life. When a person lives with integrity, humility, and reverence for God, it becomes a blessing not only to them but also to those who have invested in their lives.

This proverb also reminds us of the influence our choices have on others. Our pursuit of wisdom and righteousness can encourage, honor, and bring joy to parents, mentors, and spiritual leaders who have prayed for us and guided us along the way. Whether we are parents seeking to raise children in the faith or individuals striving to live wisely, this verse points us toward a life that reflects God’s character. True success is measured not by status or possessions but by a heart that seeks and follows the Lord. Think on this today as you make a great day!
