Verse of the Day – Proverbs 11:4

Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

—Proverbs 11:4

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…

What is your primary investment? Only righteousness offers a truly long-term benefit! That’s why Jesus said:

“So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:32-33).

My Prayer…

Holy God, thank you for valuing what is good, holy, and righteous. I praise you for empowering me through the Holy Spirit to develop those qualities I see in Jesus, have them formed in my character, and invest my life in what matters eternally. I thank you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
