Day 24

Generosity and Gluttony

from the reading plan


Proverbs 3:27-28, Proverbs 11:24-26, Proverbs 19:17, Proverbs 22:9, Proverbs 23:19-21, Proverbs 25:16


After completing your daily reading, come back to chat with fellow Bible readers about any reflections you have on the proverbs, introduction, or questions from today.

Gluttony and generosity are opposites: One involves self-motivated overconsumption while the other focuses on selfless and sacrificial giving.The true problem of gluttony is not about how much we consume—it is a check in our ability to consider others as more important than ourselves (Philippians 2:3–4).

Reflection Questions:

Think of a time you withheld, knowing you should have been generous. Why did you withhold your generosity?

Read Proverbs 3:27–28 again. How does time affect our generosity?

How have you experienced the wisdom found in Proverbs 11:24 in your own life?
