📖 31-Day Proverbs Challenge — Day 9 

Today’s Reading: Proverbs 9 

Welcome to Day 9. Proverbs 9 presents two voices, two invitations, and two paths; one leading to life through wisdom, the other leading to loss through foolishness. As you read, pay attention to how each voice speaks, what each offers, and what each produces. 

Let the chapter speak directly to your decisions, influences, and direction. 

✨ Step 1 — Identify Five Things That Stand Out 

As you read Proverbs 9, write down five things that catch your attention. These might be:  

• A phrase describing wisdom’s invitation  

• A contrast between wisdom and foolishness  

• A description of how each voice calls out  

• A warning or encouragement  

• Anything that feels personal, timely, or revealing 

Let the chapter highlight what you need to see today. 

🌍 Step 2 — Connect the Chapter to Today 

Find three things in Proverbs 9 that speak to our present moment: personally, nationally, or globally. Consider:  

• How wisdom and foolishness both compete for attention today  

• What this chapter reveals about influence, persuasion, and discernment  

• How these two paths show up in relationships, leadership, culture, or daily choices  

• What this chapter says about teachability, correction, or character 

Ask yourself: What in this chapter speaks directly to the world I’m navigating right now? 

Your insight is the heart of this challenge. 

🙏 Step 3 — Let It Shape Your Prayer 

After reflecting, consider: How is this chapter directing my prayer for change today? Think about:  

• Where you need wisdom’s voice to be louder in your life  

• Where foolish influences need to lose their pull  

• Where humility, teachability, or discernment need to grow  

• Where you’re praying for wisdom to shape your home, community, or nation 

Let Proverbs 9 guide your conversation with God.
