One month challenge

Take a challenge with me this month.  There are 31 Proverbs in the bible and each one giving an example of being wise or foolish.  I don't know about you, but I need to discern between wise and foolish ways, ideas, choices and conversations.  Join me in reading a proverb a day for the next 31 days. And share your most challenging verse on this blog with us. 


Proverbs 1

New International Version (NIV)

Purpose and Theme

1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;
    for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
    doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to those who are simple,[a]
    knowledge and discretion to the young—
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
    and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
    the sayings and riddles of the wise.[b]
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
    but fools[c] despise wisdom and instruction.
