Why a Proverb a Day?

Proverbs 20:17-18

               Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart
               to what I teach, for it is pleasing when you keep them in your
               heart and have all of them ready on your lips.

I had a seminary professor who read a Proverb a day in the morning and five chapters of Psalms in the evening; in this way he would read and meditate on the wisdom literature and the prayer book of God's people each month. By continual reading and meditating (blogging) on these wise sayings, we become active listeners to the word of God. As active listeners, we are led to apply the teachings of the truly wise one to every part of our life and learn to cherish the word of God in our hearts.

A Proverb a day keeps the sayings of the wise on our lips and guides our behavior on the path of the just.
