“The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.” — Proverbs 10:8 (ESV)
“He who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend.” — Psalm 15:3 (ESV)
“And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.” — Acts 6:8 (ESV)

Have you ever noticed how some people just stand out—not because they’re loud, but because their life speaks louder than their words? That’s what the Bible shows us in Proverbs 10, Psalm 15, and Acts 6. Proverbs says wisdom listens and obeys, while foolishness just keeps talking. Psalm 15 shows what kind of life honors God: one that speaks truth and treats people right. Then in Acts 6, we meet Stephen, who didn’t just say he believed in Jesus—he lived it with boldness, grace, and power. It’s a reminder that what really sets you apart isn’t how flashy you are, but how much your life reflects Christ.

THINK ABOUT IT
1. Listen Before Speaking: Are you more eager to listen to God’s Word and wise advice, or to just say what’s on your mind? How can you grow in being “wise of heart” (Proverbs 10:8)?
2. Character Matters: Psalm 15 reminds us that integrity shows up in how we treat people. How can you be intentional this week in speaking kindly and standing up for friends instead of tearing others down?
3. Live Boldly: Stephen’s life in Acts 6 was marked by grace and power. What would it look like for you to be known as someone full of faith and courage in your school, team, or family?

BOTTOM LINE
True wisdom isn’t just about what you know—it’s shown in how you live, love, and stand for God.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me that wisdom isn’t about being the loudest voice but about living in a way that honors You. Help me to listen to Your Word, treat others with kindness, and be bold in my faith like Stephen. May my life reflect Your truth and love wherever I go. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
