Thursday, January 9th: On today’s episode of The Daily Grind, we’re diving into Proverbs, the Bible’s guide to everyday wisdom—but with an important reminder: Proverbs are not promises. Misunderstanding this can lead to disappointment in God when life doesn’t turn out as expected. Join John as he unpacks Proverbs 14 and explores three powerful truths:

• Proverbs 14:4 reminds us that success is messy, especially in church life, where welcoming imperfect people brings both challenges and growth.
• Proverbs 14:12 warns us not to trust our instincts or cultural norms but to rely on God’s Word to guide us toward the narrow path of life.
• Proverbs 14:31 challenges us to honor God by how we treat others, especially the poor, because every person carries the image of their Creator.

Through relatable stories, including an antique family rocking chair that holds more value for its legacy than its appearance, this episode highlights how God’s wisdom applies to the beauty and complexity of life.
