Proverbs 11: 23-30
During this Lenten season, God calls us to walk in righteousness and generosity.
Proverbs 11:23-30 reminds us that the desires of the righteous lead to goodness, while the ways of the wicked end in destruction. Keep trust in the Lord as the righteous “will flourish like green leaves.” A generous heart is blessed, and those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Like a tree of life, the righteous bear fruit that blesses many.
As we reflect on these verses, let us examine our hearts. Are we sowing kindness and wisdom? Are we uplifting others through our words and actions? Lent is a time of transformation – a time to turn from selfishness and embrace the life giving ways of God. When we walk in righteousness, we not only receive His blessings but also become a source of blessing to those around us.
CLOSING PRAYER
Gracious and Loving Father,
We come before You in this season of reflection and renewal. Teach us to desire what is good and righteous. Fill our hearts with generosity and wisdom so that we may bear fruit that glorifies You. Help us to be like a tree of life, bringing encouragement, love, and grace to those around us. May we refresh others as You refresh our souls. Lord, transform us into vessels of Your goodness, that we may walk in Your ways and lead others to Your light. We submit our lives humbly before You, in Jesus’ name. Amen
