Rest Day
Each Sunday is a Rest Day. There is no new Bible reading to do. Today, the goal is simple: rest in the presence of God. Maybe you need to use today to get caught up on the reading plan if you’re behind, maybe you want to journal what you’re learning so you don’t forget what God is teaching you, or maybe you want to spend time in concentrated prayer–do that. Above all, just spend time in God’s presence.
Each Rest Day, we will have an additional element to help you dig deeper. Sometimes it will be extra resources to further your study, a video to watch, or a podcast to listen to. Sometimes we’ll have a verse to commit to memorize to help you hide God’s Word in your heart.

Refelction Guide
As you reflect on Proverbs 16-21 this week, ask yourself the following questions:
- Which psalm resonated with you most this week? Why?
- What did this week’s readings teach you about God?
- What did this week’s reading teach you about humanity (and yourself)?

In the past week I have been impressed with how many proverbs involve business transactions.
For example, Proverbs 20:23 says “The Lord detests differing weights, and dishonest scales do not please him.”
It is a great reminder that the when the Bible provides training in righteousness, those teachings don’t stop in our business transactions.
Very interesting!
This is what I’ve been reflecting upon this past week . . .
Proverbs 16:31
Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness.
As I travel the “back nine” of life, I seek to be very mindful of finishing strong! I don’t want to let up. I don’t want to lose my focus.
Same!
“It is not good to be partial to the wicked and to deprive the innocent of justice” (18:5).
In several high profile trials occurring and on the docket, if every juror believed this nugget of wisdom how different the outcomes would be.
