I love the Book of Proverbs. I felt like I got smarter after reading this book. Its sad that I did not remark it sooner. I have been so impacted that my 2020 goals is to read the entire book for the rest of the year.

I learn something every time I read through the book of Proverbs. It's a collection of the wisdom of Solomon given to his son, presumably his heir Rheaboam.

These proverbs are summarized as 'the fear of the Lord'. They come not only from Solomon's supernatural wisdom, but also from his mother (Bathsheba) and other wise people as well.

Solomon opens the book contrasting wisdom with folly. Wisdom is shown as a perfect woman and folly as an immoral woman. He then gives over twenty chapters of proverbs, about thirty per chapters.

One good way to study this book is to read a chapter per day. There are 31 chapters. Another is to read a verse per day and thin about it. There are an average of thirty verses per chapter.

I first read it at 19, knowing I lacked wisdom. My biggest takeaway then was, keep your mouth shut. It's still true today.
