Day 15 with Emily Alexander | Proverbs 13

Main message: The choices we make each day shape whether we live wisely or foolishly, but because of Jesus and God's grace it is never too late to turn back and choose the path of righteousness.

Key points:

• Proverbs 13 contrasts wise living with foolish living and links choices to long-term outcomes (wisdom, blessing) or disgrace.
• Examples from Proverbs 13: control your tongue, diligence leads to prosperity, pride provokes conflict, think before acting, trouble follows sinners.
• We make thousands of choices daily (about 35,000), including many automatic ones, so each day is a new opportunity to choose differently.
• Grace is described as the highway back — turning to Jesus is how we find rest and the strength to change habits and decisions.
• Jesus’ invitation (Matthew 11:28–30) offers rest and a light yoke for the weary who come as they are.

Scriptures mentioned: Proverbs 13 (vv.3,4,10,16,20,21), Matthew 11:28-30
