DAY 215: JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE IN A YEAR

Today we continue our journey through the book of Proverbs.

Ask the Lord for His understanding of Proverbs 14-15. Read Proverbs 14-15. Let’s journey!

King Solomon, son of King David, is believed to be the wisest man who ever lived, with the exception of Jesus Christ. King Solomon is the author of most of the book of Proverbs, which means wisdom. Solomon, upon being crowned king, was offered a gift from the Lord. Already showing wisdom, Solomon asked that the Lord bestow upon him wisdom to rule wisely. Wisdom is about how to live in a way that honors God and all wisdom comes from the Lord.

Proverbs 14-15: Like all the other chapters in Proverbs, chapters 14 and 15 contain verses that contrast wisdom with folly and the blessings of wisdom against the suffering folly brings. (Proverbs 14:1-15:33)

Following today’s reading, take some time and meditate on a piece of wisdom that stood out to you. Consider why you are drawn to that piece of wisdom. Does it go against what the secular world teaches? What is God trying to teach you through this piece of wisdom? How can that wisdom be applied to your life?
