Clean Stables, Careful Steps: Wisdom for Work and Discernment in Proverbs 14 | 2/18/26

In this devotional from Proverbs 14, we reflect on two seemingly simple sayings that carry deep wisdom for everyday life. The proverb about the ox reminds us that while avoiding responsibility may keep life “clean,” real growth, fruitfulness, and blessing require work, mess, and sustained effort. Anything meaningful—relationships, vocation, or spiritual maturity—comes with responsibilities we don’t always enjoy but ultimately value. The second proverb warns against gullibility, urging God’s people to be thoughtful, discerning, and slow to believe or repeat what they hear. Together, these proverbs call believers to embrace both diligent effort and careful judgment as marks of a trustworthy, wise life.
