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.

In verse 16 it talks about a prudent person. What is a prudent person and how does it apply to all the wisdom given out in Proverbs? A prudent person is someone who uses good sense and thinks through all situations they encounter. So how do you get good sense? Where should you turn? We can find good sense and good wisdom from God himself. James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you". God will give you wisdom GENEROUSLY and without finding fault! All we have to do is ask Him for guidance. Life if full of choices. Each day you will make a choice. Use Godly wisdom found in the Bible and Proverbs in particular to make wise decisions so you can be prudent in your life.
