Proverbs 20:29 - Wisdom Is Stronger Than Muscle

Proverbs 20:29

29 The glory of young men is their strength,
    but the splendor of old men is their gray hair.

Lesson Summary

  • Sometimes we trust a little too much in our own strength.
  • Just because someone doesn't look strong, doesn't mean they don't have a hidden strength of their own.
  • Jesus makes us strong, especially in wisdom.
  • Ultimately His wisdom wins out over mere strength.
  • Gave gave us older people in our lives to share the wisdom of the life lessons that brought them that gray hair, and we would be wise to listen to them.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father,
Help us to trust in your wisdom over our strength, and open our ears to wise older believers who are willing to share their wisdom with us.
In Jesus' Name we pray,
Amen.
