Proverbs 14:29 – Today’s Verse for March 29, 2025 Saturday

“He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.“
— Proverbs 14:29 KJV

Reflection on Today's Verse

We all know how easy it is to lose our cool. Life can be stressful, and people can push our buttons. But this verse reminds us there’s wisdom in staying calm and being patient. When we rush into anger, we usually regret it later. Anger makes us say things we don’t really mean and do things we can’t undo.

Patience helps us step back and think clearly. It gives us space to understand what’s really happening. Maybe the other person had a bad day or misunderstood us. Maybe we’re tired or stressed ourselves. Taking a moment to pause can make all the difference.

God knows our struggles with patience. He understands we won’t get it right every time. But He invites us to trust Him when we feel irritated or upset. He’s patient with us, after all. And the more we lean on Him, the easier it becomes to slow down and respond with kindness instead of anger.

Today, let’s remember this wisdom from Proverbs. When frustration rises, let’s pause and ask God for help. A patient heart not only brings peace to others—it brings peace to us, too.

Personal Prayer

Lord, sometimes I get upset too easily. Small things bother me, and I react quickly instead of waiting and listening. Help me remember what Proverbs says about patience—that it’s better to stay calm than rush into anger. I want to show others Your love and kindness.

When I start feeling frustrated, remind me to pause and lean on You. Give me Your peace and help me understand others better. Thank You for being patient with me every day. Amen.
