Hey! Wait a Minute!

It only takes about a minute to read through a Chapter of Proverbs so all the answers you’re looking for may be less than sixty seconds away. There are thirty one Chapters in the book of Proverbs. You can easily read one everyday and get eternal wisdom that will change your life forever. On the first read Chapter one and on the second read Chapter two and so on. Most problems are caused by a lack of wisdom, poor character or bad decisions. The wisdom of God revealed in book of Proverbs can help you in every area of life. It’s very simple, straight forward, entertaining and applicable to real life. I recommend reading through the chapter and then picking a verse to think about everyday. This is a quick and uncomplicated way to get good and lasting results. Isn’t that what you’re really looking for? Everyday you eat so you can fuel up, also read so you can wise up, God’s Word will cause you to rise up.

Prov 3:13-18
3 Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who retain her.
NKJV

Prov 3:13-18
3 You're blessed when you meet Lady Wisdom,
when you make friends with Madame Insight.
14 She's worth far more than money in the bank;
her friendship is better than a big salary.
15 Her value exceeds all the trappings of wealth;
nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.
16 With one hand she gives long life,
with the other she confers recognition.
17 Her manner is beautiful,
her life wonderfully complete.
18 She's the very Tree of Life to those who embrace her.
Hold her tight — and be blessed!
