📖 31-Day Proverbs Challenge — Day 14 

Today’s Reading: Proverbs 14 

Welcome to Day 14. Proverbs 14 is a chapter full of contrasts; showing how wisdom builds, while foolishness tears down; how character shapes outcomes; and how our words, attitudes, and decisions influence the world around us. 

As you read, let the chapter speak directly to your heart, habits, and direction. 

✨ Step 1 — Identify Five Things That Stand Out 

As you read Proverbs 14, write down five things that catch your attention. These might be:  

• A contrast between the wise and the foolish  

• A phrase about the consequences of certain choices  

• A warning about destructive attitudes or behaviors  

• A promise connected to righteousness or integrity  

• 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 14 that speak to our present moment; personally, nationally, or globally. Consider:  

• What this chapter reveals about building vs. tearing down  

• How wisdom influences relationships, leadership, or community  

• How fear, anger, pride, or impulsiveness show up in today’s world  

• What this chapter says about the long‑term outcomes of 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 wisdom needs to shape your responses or decisions  

• Where character, patience, or humility need to grow  

• Where destructive patterns need to lose their influence  

• Where you’re praying for wisdom, stability, and righteousness in your home or community 

Let Proverbs 14 guide your conversation with God.
