Proverbs 14:29 — Saturday, June 13, 2026

This proverb directly links self-control with maturity. Patience is not weakness but a sign of great understanding. Those who know how to wait and think before acting show that they understand people and situations. The impatient react far too quickly and reveal their immaturity in words they later regret. Solomon observes that anger and haste are bad counselors. Patience becomes possible when we trust in God's timing. Our culture values speed, but wisdom values discernment. Today we are invited to ask God for a calm spirit in the face of provocations.
