Proverbs is a collection of wisdom that looks at life's choices, our words, and our relationships.
In short sayings we learn reverence for God and a right way of living.
We chose verses from Proverbs that touch our lives today.
How it works
- One passage per sheet — first read the Korean sentence slowly.
- Read the word explanation and the short question, and think of where it touches your life.
- Copy it by hand on the blank lines, and hold on to the sentence that stays with you today.
- For the last question, a single sentence is enough.
When · with whom
Good when adults and children want to read one sheet together and reflect on their words and hearts.
