📖 31-Day Proverbs Challenge — Day 13 

Today’s Reading: Proverbs 13 

Welcome to Day 13. Proverbs 13 is a chapter of contrasts; showing how wise choices lead to life, stability, and blessing, while foolish choices lead to loss, frustration, and regret. As you read, pay attention to how discipline, speech, relationships, and habits shape a person’s future. 

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

As you read Proverbs 13, write down five things that catch your attention. These might be: • A contrast between the wise and the foolish  

• A phrase about discipline or correction  

• A warning about laziness or impulsiveness  

• A promise connected to diligence or righteousness  

• Anything that feels personal, timely, or revealing 

Let the chapter highlight what you need to see today.
