For today's tip, what do August, October, December, January, March, May and July have in common?
These are great months to read through Proverbs. Thirty-one chapters. Thirty-one days. It's almost like it was planned.
If you've never studied Proverbs, you'll find it tackles a whole range of subjects from finances, laziness, diplomacy and interpersonal relationships. The quips are enlightening, sometimes convicting, and occasionally humorous. It's not just a collection of quaint sayings, though. Proverbs contains some very astute observations about the differences between God-fearing people and those that reject God's counsel.
Spend a little time daily this month in the book of Proverbs, and see what new insights you gain. Granted, if you start today, you'd need to read two chapters to catch up, but I think you can handle that. (Of course, if you're a purist, I suppose you can wait until October.)
Be sure and let me know what catches your eye. Next week, we'll talk about those 30 day months.
