I am very excited to share with you that my Bible study on Proverbs 31, “31 Days of Proverbs 31”, has been completely revised and updated and is now ready for print! I wanted to share the first day with you here, to give you an idea of what it’s like. Each day covers one …
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. ~ Proverbs 31:26 It’s hard to believe that the month of March is over, and so is our “March” through Proverbs. It’s kind of bittersweet. It feels good to have read through a book of the Bible, doesn’t it? But …
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. ~ Proverbs 30:5 How precious are God’s Words! I recently read about a Chinese Christian who prayed for a Bible. He prayed for many months before finally receiving a copy. It was delivered at night so that …
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. ~ Proverbs 29:11 As Solomon says in Ecclesiastes 3:7 there is “…a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;” It is up to us to discern when to speak and when to keep silence. I’ve often told my …

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport? ~ Proverbs 26:18-19 I love to laugh. I love hearing funny stories and sharing them. But this passage reminded me today that you can have too much of a good …
He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. ~ Proverbs 25:28 What a picture this verse gives us – a city broken down, without walls. That city is highly vulnerable! Any beggar can pilfer the remains. Vandals can destroy and loot the property. …
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. ~ Proverbs 24: 17-18 There are some things we should not be happy about. One of them is when an enemy receives …
Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. ~ Proverbs 23:17 As a child, I didn’t enjoy the Christian life that my parents forced upon me. I didn’t like my Christian school. I didn’t like going to church THREE times a week and sitting …
