Today’s Reading: Proverbs 20

As you read, let the chapter speak directly to your character, habits, and relationships. 

✨ Step 1 — Identify Five Things That Stand Out 

As you read Proverbs 20, write down five things that catch your attention. These might be:  

• A phrase about integrity or honesty  

• A warning about impulsiveness, anger, or lack of self‑control  

• A reminder about wise speech or careful listening  

• A contrast between diligence and laziness  

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

• What this chapter reveals about character in leadership, relationships, or community  

• How patience, restraint, or self‑control shape outcomes  

• How honesty and integrity build trust in a world full of shortcuts  

• What this chapter says about justice, responsibility, or long‑term consequences 

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 integrity needs to deepen in your habits or decisions  

• Where patience or self‑control need to grow
