I am excited about entering the world of blogging for the next thirty one days as we journey through the thirty one chapters of Proverbs together. I have to confess that this will be my first attempt at blogging. Hopefully, I will have something worthwhile to say. Fortunately, we are going through a book of the Bible that is filled with practical wisdom that is intensely relevant to our lives today.

My prayer for us that we will seriously consider and wrestle with how to take the truths found in Proverbs and work them into our lives. It’s so easy to read the Bible and check our ‘quiet time’ off the to-do list for the day and then never give it another thought. I hope that the Lord uses this time to develop new habits of prayer and Bible study in us that results in spiritual renewal and refreshment.

A quick word about how we are going to do this. The goal is to read the chapter in Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month. (i.e. on July 1 read Proverbs 1 etc.) Ideally, read it in the morning and then spend the day pondering what you read. Then come to the blog in the evening to read and comment if you are so inclined.

So, thank you for coming to check out the blog. For the first entry on Proverbs 1, check back later today. This is going to be fun!
