In today’s Wisdom Nugget, I will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. It’s a pleasure to have you join me on this solo journey today. We’re delving into the timeless insights of Proverbs 19:15-21 from the New Living Translation.

As we embark on this exploration, let’s seek the profound wisdom that can guide us in understanding the impact of laziness, the value of acquiring wisdom, and the sovereignty of God in our plans.
