DAY 236: JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE IN A YEAR

Our journey today through the book of Proverbs focuses on chapter 19.

Ask the Lord for His understanding of Proverbs 19. Read Proverbs 19. 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 19: Like the other Proverbs, Proverbs 19, is a series of verses contrasting wisdom with folly. (Proverbs 19:1-29)

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?
