Proverbs 18:11-12

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the ninth part "Psalms and Proverbs." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

At least 366 times, the Bible tells us not to be anxious. But do those commandments really count in the wake of a pandemic, financial struggles, relational brokenness, or middle-of-the-night fears that seem beyond our control? Absolutely! Freedom from fear doesn’t have anything to do with our personal or global circumstances.

Daily Bible reading helps you build consistent interaction with Scripture. Background, key verses for meditation, reflection questions to help you dive deeper into Scripture, and prayers prompted by the day's passage will all help you connect with God and others. Journey with us this month and explore the theme “God’s Guiding Word: Wisdom"

Proverbs is one of the most practical books in the Bible. It’s not a list of promises to lean on, but principles to live by—wisdom for our words, our work, our relationships, and our choices. Over the next 30 days, we’ll walk through Proverbs one chapter at a time, uncovering what it looks like to live wisely in the everyday.
