Proverbs is a book that contains many themes and instruction on how to live life. However, the most pronounced theme seems to be the contrast that exists between the wise man and the foolish person in a similar way our Lord taught in Matthew 7:21-29. I would encourage you to consider five exercises:
- Carefully read the chapter(s) of the month. You might want to read it several times throughout the month.
- Read the article.
- Choose a verse or set of verses in the chapter to memorize for that month. Use our suggestions on memorization helps found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/biblerecall/TgMvHCzBMxE
- Find ways to apply the wisdom from Proverbs in your own life.
- Share the wisdom in Proverbs with another person. Encourage others to join the list. Relate any lessons that you have learned or benefit from as it pertains to the Scripture assignment. (Today it is easier than ever to share information with email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But also a good ole fashion letter mailed or verbal conversation has its own peculiar benefit too!) These lessons can also be used for family bible study time.
May God grant each of us the wisdom we need to support the things we must support, to walk the way we ought to walk, to change the things we must change and the wisdom to know when to speak and when to keep silent. --Steven J. Wallace
