Daily Bible Reading – September 2021, God’s Word of Wisdomಮಾದರಿ

September 18

Introduction

For the next four days, we will read selected chapters from the book of Proverbs, a collection of moral teachings in the form of wise sayings. Many of these proverbs are attributed to King Solomon, who succeeded his father David as Israel’s third king. The sayings affirm that wisdom comes from God. Today’s reading includes advice on how to be wise and live right.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Proverbs 1:1-33

Today’s Key Verse:  Proverbs 1:7

To have knowledge, you must first have reverence for the LORD.

Reflect

Why is having reverence for the LORD a prerequisite to knowledge?  What is the value of proverbs (verses 3-6)? What is the value of heeding wisdom’s call (verse 33)? What advice in today’s reading do you find most meaningful?

Pray

All-wise God, may all I do and say this day demonstrate my reverence for you. Open my heart, mind, and ears to hear wisdom’s call and teach me to abide in your Word. Amen.
