EMBRACING WISDOM

Internet missionaries with Global Media Outreach correspond with people from all over the world that respond to simple websites that present a simple presentation of the good news.

There is a cry for all over the globe for assistance in difficult life circumstances, mostly in relationships. This is a series on Proverbs is intended to summarize its principles for wisdom, that is, skillful living. The intention is to provide a place for people to begin the habit of being in scripture daily.

This is started on 1-1-11 and will run until insights from all 31 Proverbs are summarized on this blog. Sydney

TAKING THE CHALLENGE

Years ago, I took the challenge to read a chapter of Proverbs a day. This is a book on wisdom, that is, skillful living. I challenge you to do the same. Select a proverb for the current day.

WHAT DO I DO TODAY?

Today is day 22 of the month. So the advice is to read Proverbs chapter 22 today. If you miss a day, either double up, if time permits, or simply read the chapter for the day.

A CLEVER GOD

Proverbs is a collection of wise sayings and simply good advice for daily living. No proverb verse has ever been found to be false or bad advice.

Solomon is credited with preparing these. The Hebrew calendar was 30 days at the time, but God knew at some point there would be a calendar with 31 days in some months.

There are 31 chapters, one for each day of the month. Keep doing this for three months to saturate yourself with God's values.

EVEN BETTER ...

Get a note pad or day timer and journal on what you are learning. Share with me an insight from the chapter you read during the day. You will be amazed at how your skill for living will increase. God is very powerful through his word. Some have called it the Manufacturer's Handbook; others God's love letter to you.
