Proverbs 10:6 – Today’s Verse for September 13, 2024 Friday

“Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.”
Proverbs 10:6 KJV

Reflection on Today's Verse

Now, let’s be real for a second—who wouldn’t want a crown made out of blessings? Forget gold and jewels, we’re talking about divine favor, peace, joy, and the kind of smile that people envy without knowing why.

But here’s the kicker: that crown doesn’t just fall from the sky like some heavenly tiara. It’s more like one of those loyalty rewards you get after consistently choosing righteousness over quick fixes and shady shortcuts. And let’s be honest, choosing the righteous path can feel like choosing salad when you really want fries. It’s hard. But the payoff? Blessings. A head crowned with goodness, like walking around with an invisible halo that says, “Yeah, I’m living right.”

Meanwhile, the wicked? Well, they get overwhelmed by violence. It’s almost as if their mouths are writing checks their lives can’t cash. Every harsh word, every deceitful move, it all piles up. Instead of a crown, they’re wearing chaos like a cheap hat from the dollar store—and it’s not a good look.

So, aim for that crown. It’s more than just a badge of honor; it’s the ultimate spiritual swag. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to be crowned by God? Just remember: blessings take time, but they stick around a lot longer than those fries you almost ordered.

Personal Prayer

Heavenly Father, teach me to speak with kindness, to act with love, and to live in a way that reflects Your grace. May my life be marked by peace, joy, and the quiet assurance that comes from knowing I am walking in Your will. Protect me from the chaos that overwhelms the wicked, and let my words and actions be a testament to Your goodness.

Lord, I know that righteousness is not always easy, but I trust in Your strength to guide me. Crown me, not with worldly accolades, but with the blessings that come from a heart aligned with Yours. Thank You for being my source of hope, and may Your love shine through me today and always.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

She ran a small-town art studio before VerseForTheDay invited her to swap charcoal for chapters, yet paint still flecks her keyboard. Dawn finds her barefoot on the porch, swirling watercolors across a travel Bible, letting sunrise seep into the margins. Neighbors wave as she bikes to the farmers’ market, basket rattling with sunflowers and Psalms scribbled on kraft-paper price tags.Alona trusts that Scripture behaves like clay: press your palms in, and a vessel appears where empty air once lived. Afternoon workshops with foster teens prove the point; they mold hope into coffee mugs, then watch steam carry it forward.Diplomas? Only framed sketches of hands lifted in worship. Awards? A dog-eared gratitude list taped to her fridge. Open her reflections when cynicism scratches—she’ll slide a brush into your grip and show you light hiding in the smear of everyday color.
