Hebrews 12:11 Newsletter

Hello Reader,

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and to insight, “You are my relative.” Proverbs 7:4 NIV

Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths. - Proverbs 7:25 NIV

The older I get, the more I value my family and friends. As a child, I saw my siblings and cousins daily. In college, I spent time with friends almost every day. Now, as an adult, it feels like solving a calculus problem just to gather with the people I love. But because those relationships matter, I do the work to stay connected.

Wisdom is like that too. Proverbs tells us to treat wisdom like family—something we keep close and consistent in our lives. Understanding is like a trusted relative. When we value wisdom and insight this way, we protect ourselves from straying down dangerous paths.

Reflection Question:
​What relationship in your life reminds you of the closeness you should also pursue with wisdom?

Faith in Action:
​Take 5 minutes this week to journal about how you can keep wisdom close in your daily decisions.

Prayer of the Week
​Dear God, Thank You for the wisdom You’ve already placed in my life. Help me to treat wisdom as a trusted friend and keep it close to my heart. Remind me not only to hear wisdom but to understand it and live it out daily. Guide my steps so I walk in Your truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a good week,

-Latrisa
