100 Proverbs for Daily Wisdom From the Bible

Some days, we do not need a long sermon.
We need one clear sentence.
A simple truth that steadies the heart and sharpens the mind.

That is what the Book of Proverbs offers. These sayings were written to be lived, not just read. They speak about work, speech, patience, pride, discipline, relationships, and faith. They meet us in everyday moments. At the office. At home. In silence. In conflict.

This collection of 100 Proverbs for daily wisdom is meant to be read slowly. One a day. One at a time. Let them shape your thinking and guide your steps.
