Proverbs 1

Sometime ago I Bevan reading "the proverb of the day." I've never remained consistent, but I'm sure I've gone Atleast 30-31 days of reading the proverb of the day every day for Atleast that one month. July challenge is to focus on the proverbs abs meditate on each one daily. I'll documebt some thoughts here. Proverbs 1. I feel I just want to quote the entire chapter. How do I pick just one ir two verses? Verse 2 was what first stood out to me. The Proverbs were written so that men(women) may appreciate wisdom and discipline and understand intelligence. For as often as I've read the proverbs, this is the first time this verse truly stuck out. I pray that resourcefulness is imparted on me. I pray to have knowledge, discretion, and advance in learning. May I comprehend the proverb, the parables, and riddles of the wise. As I venture on this next 31 day challenge, I pray that my eyes are open to see, that my ears are open to hear, and that I learn on an even deeper level who my Abba is and more so how much He loves me. I pray I gain wisdom and understanding. I pray that I learn what a beautiful Joy it is to fear of the Lord. I rebuke arrogance. I rebuke hatred. Verse 33: "but he who obeys me dwells in security, in peace, without fear of harm." Lord Jesus. Papa God. Teach me obedience so that I have security and peace. Amen.
