Questions

• What does it mean to truly fear the Lord in practical decisions—especially in wealth, parenting, and leadership?
• How do we cultivate hearts that love wisdom rather than crave what the wicked gain?

God Shot

God is a defender of the oppressed and a just Judge who sees through all pretenses (22:22–23). He delights in righteousness, disciplines those He loves, and lovingly warns His people against paths that lead to ruin—revealing a heart that both protects and purifies.
