Many years ago, as a young Christian believer, I used to read one chapter of Proverbs each day.  The Old Testament book of Proverbs contains 31 chapters.  One for each day of the month.  Lately I’ve been working on getting back into that habit, because Proverbs contains so much practical wisdom and truth.

Today is the 30th day of July, so I read the 30th chapter of Proverbs this morning.
There is so much there to think on. I’m going to post some of the passages that jumped out at me today in hope of encouraging you to spend time in Proverbs as well.

Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?  Proverbs 30:4

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.  Proverbs 30:5&6

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.  Proverbs 30:12

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.  Proverbs 30:17

Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.  Proverbs 30:20

………let the word of Christ dwell in you richly………
