A muddied spring pictures the damage compromise can do to our witness. Proverbs 25:26 calls us to integrity and to the restoring grace of Jesus when we fail.

Proverbs 14:9 contrasts making light of sin with the acceptance enjoyed by the upright. This reflection points to Jesus, whose righteousness and rejection make our acceptance possible.

Proverbs 11:2 shows how pride leads to disgrace while humility brings wisdom. Reflect on the walls pride builds, the shame Christ bore for us, and drawing near to God through confession and repentance.
