Proverbs

I completed chapter 12 of Proverbs today in the "A Proverb a Day" devotional blogsite. That's 81 proverbs (from chapter 10-12). There are many more to go. It is an "ingraining" exercise. As the days go on, meditating on one proverb at a time, the solid wisdom and truth begin to take hold. One reason is that the proverbs present two repetitive themes: righteous living vs. wicked living and wisdom vs. foolishness. Like a scientist, it examines its subject from many angles and runs all kinds of experiments to test its "hypothesis" that wisdom and righteousness triumph over folly and wickedness.

If you have not done so yet, I encourage you to take one week of daily reading the proverb and devotional. The activity will take less than 60 seconds, but will have a more lasting effect than you may expect.
