Day 1: Good morning! Welcome to the month of wisdom as we
read through the Proverbs together. I am very excited about it and i pray that
God will bless your time in His Word and that you will develop a daily habit of
Bible reading. If you are downloading a Bible onto your phone i recommend the
"Bible Gateway" app (www.biblegateway.com). For the version please
aim for either the New American Standard Bible (NASB) or Holman Christian
Standard Bible (HCSB) or New King James if possible. NIV is ok too but not my
favorite. I will send you my verse/input later. Be blessed!
Proverbs 1:17-19 "It is foolish to spread a net where
any bird can see it, but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack
their own lives. Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly; it
takes the lives of those who receive it." (jcg)
Proverbs 1:7 & 32-33 The fear of The Lord is the beginning
of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline. ... “For the waywardness of
the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them. But
he who listens to me [wisdom] shall live securely and will be at ease from the
dread of evil.” (amen)
"For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come
knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a
shield to those who walk in integrity." Proverbs 2:6-7
…todays reading is one of my favorites. I hope you will fit
it in today's busy schedule!... "Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will
find favor and good repute in the sight of God and man." (prov 3:3-4)
Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow
the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23
Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of
the Lord, and He watches all his paths.
Proverbs 6:20-22 My son, observe the commandment of your
father, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother; Bind them continually
on your heart; Tie them around your neck. When you walk about, they will guide
you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will
talk to you.
Proverbs 7:2-3 Keep my commandments and live, And my
teaching as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the
tablet of your heart.
“Take my instruction and not silver, and knowledge rather
than choicest gold. “For wisdom is better than jewels; and all desirable things
cannot compare with her." Proverbs
8:10-11
Some lunchtime refreshment and wisdom... :-) Proverbs

the Holy One is understanding. For by me your days will be multiplied, And

false witness pours out lies.
Todays reading was very interesting. Many of the verses
required some thought and a 2nd or 3rd reading to understand and contemplate
the meaning. I like this one, which is very straightforward... Proverbs

of death.

themselves, but the one who heeds correction gains understanding. (jcg)
