“The purpose of Proverbs is to give "prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young" Proverbs 1:4, and to make wise men wiser (1:5).
The frequent references to “my son” emphasize instructing the young and guiding them into a happy and prosperous life. Acquiring wisdom and knowing how to avoid the pitfalls of folly will lead to health and success. Proverbs is a practical book dealing with the area of living, it bases wisdom solidly on the fear of the Lord. Throughout the book this reverence for God is set forth as the path to life and security.” Taken from the introduction in the NIV Study Bible
Did you know there are 31 chapters in Proverbs?
Would you take the Proverbs challenge?
Read 1 chapter a day for a month.
Then do it again and again.
See, if once you have saturated yourself with this wisdom,
whether you feel wiser!!
Would love to have you join me in this challenge. Read 1 chapter of Proverbs a day for the month. Let me know if you take the challenge and let me know if you believe you have more knowledge and wisdom at the end of the challenge!
There will NOT be a test!
