Proverbs 1:23
“If you respond to my warning,
then I will pour out my spirit on you
and teach you my words.” (CSB)

“Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.” (NLT)

“About face! I can revise your life.
Look, I’m ready to pour out my spirit on you;
I’m ready to tell you all I know.” (The Message)

One thing we don’t have nearly enough of these days is wisdom. Knowledge, facts, information, and artificial intelligence abound. Wisdom offers its assistance, but few invite it to sit at the table.

Its omission is evident.

Its inclusion is a no-brainer. It is readily available. It has been accumulated, stored up, inventoried, categorized, and made easily accessible. Daily applications are essential. Full strength is a good start.

You, being wise as you are, already know there are thirty-one chapters in the Book of Proverbs in the Bible. You know it is tucked away neatly between Psalms and Ecclesiastes. You know you can read a chapter a day and learn a thing or two every day for the rest of your life. Imagine learning something new every day that makes you wiser, stronger, healthier, and simply all-‘round better. A proverb a day will do that.

Listen to God’s invitation:

“Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.”

Ignorance is a choice. Wisdom is the much better option.

Let’s get wise, guys.

—

I will listen to God’s wise heart each day and live what he teaches me.

—

Our Father, I need your wisdom. I know a lot of stuff. I have a lot of stuffing in my heart and mind. I need your wisdom to make it work right and to achieve the right outcomes. Give me a teachable spirit. Instruct me. Refine what I have captured and make it useful in all I do and become. Amen.

Daily D – Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Deuteronomy 23:4, 5 “For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 17:16-20

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
