I love to read the BOOK OF PROVERBS, there is so much wisdom contained in it. Many times we think and act as if we know everything, but we do lack a lot of wisdom. I would like to recommend you to take a time during the coming 31 days to study one chapter of the book of Proverbs every day. Don’t just read it as you would read the newspaper or any other book, instead let me suggest this:

1. Always PRAY before reading the Bible. Ask God to help you understand what you are reading.

2. If possible, have DIFFERENT VERSIONS of the Bible at hand. It will make it clearer and help you to understand better. You can always check online, if you don’t have a printed copy.

3. Have a notebook at hand to WRITE DOWN what the Lord is speaking to your life during the daily study. At the end of the study of the book you can go back and refresh your memory.

4. SHARE IT with somebody. After studying it on your own, you can share it with your spouse or a friend who has also studied it.

5. APPLY to your life what you have learnt. Let us not only be hearers, but also doers of the Word (James 1:22).
