Wise Up – a Study of the book of Proverbs (31 Days)
April 5, 2024
2024–Daily Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs (31 Days)–Text “Wisdom” to 703-454-5990
Proverbs is a book found in the Old Testament that is filled with wisdom that has survived generation after generation. This wisdom will lead you closer to God and guide you toward a life of true fulfillment and joy. Just read a chapter a day and in 31 days you’ll have read the whole thing. We recommend reading the chapter based on the day of the month. So on the first day of the month, read chapter 1. On the second, read chapter 2. And so on.
Ever feel like you just can’t understand what it says or what it means? Try reading a modern translation such as the ESV or NLT. Each translation tries to balance staying true to the original meaning with being readable in today’s English vernacular. We find the ESV to balance these well. The NLT is even easier to read but loses some of the power and depth of meaning found in the ESV.
Whatever translation you chose, the important part is to get in the Bible every day. Before reading ask God to help you to understand what you read. Then sit back, read the daily reading in your Bible or using the links below, and trust God to teach you something about His love for you.

Recently I have noticed the use of by-stander cell phone video on the news. Whether it is a police incident, an accident, or other newsworthy event, there are people standing nearby catching it all on their phone. What we don’t see too much of in these stories is one of those bystanders doing more than film the event, but actually getting involved and trying to help. While most people focus on verses 5-6 in this chapter, check out verses 27-30 today. Do these remind you of a parable that Jesus told to explain who our neighbor is? When we look at the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) we watch a guy get beat up and left for dead. We watch people walk by without offering any assistance. And then we finally see an "enemy" as a neighbor, helping the man both physically and financially.How can you "Love your neighbor as yourself" today?
