Daily Bible Reading – September 2022: "God’s Renewing Word of Wisdom"

DAY 23 OF 30

September 23

Introduction

Today’s reading is part of a collection of sayings attributed to King Solomon. This chapter reads more like statements of truth rather than instructions to be followed, with an emphasis on the ways good people will be blessed.

Scripture Reading

Proverbs 10:1-32

Today’s Key Verse: Proverbs 10:7

Good people will be remembered as a blessing, but the wicked will soon be forgotten.

Reflect

Each verse is written in two parts, a literary style known as parallelism. In these verses, the second part contrasts the first and expresses the opposite. In other chapters, there are proverbs written in this style, but the second part will echo or agree with the first (example: Proverbs 16:18). What is your overall reaction to these sayings? Do any of them ring true for you? Why or why not?

Pray

Dear God, I yearn to do what pleases you, but sometimes I fall short. Yet you continue to love and bless me. Daily I need to be reconciled and restored to you. Forgive my shortcomings and, as you have blessed me, teach me to be a blessing to others through my words and actions. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Proverbs 12:1-28: Wisely spoken words can heal.
