Reading: **Proverbs 2** Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. ** Understanding God’s Word is essential for lasting transformation. Proverbs calls us to actively pursue wisdom and insight as if they were treasure. The truth of Scripture isn’t meant to be skimmed—it's meant to be mined. God promises to give understanding to those who seek Him with a sincere heart.** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **God, give me a hunger for Your Word. Help me not to be content with surface-level understanding but to dig deep and apply Your truth.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** 1. Read today’s Scripture twice, slowly, and write down three truths that stand out. 2. Choose one verse to meditate on throughout the day. Repeat it during breaks, meals, or quiet moments.
