“Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” Proverbs 16:3.
Written by the wisest man that has ever lived (aside from Jesus, of course), the book of Proverbs is a sea of wisdom and contains words of truth that paves a way of happiness in life. The more you read of it, the more you will reap blessings from this wonderful book written by King Solomon.
When I was young, my mother sat me down and told me this. There are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs. Since there are 30 (or 31) days in a month, I should read one chapter each day. If I do this each month, I would be reading the book of Proverbs 12 times a year. What a great way to gain wisdom from the Scriptures on a daily basis.
Well, my mother didn’t stop there. She told me one more thing. There are 12 chapters in the book of Daniel, and 22 chapters in the book of Revelation, a total of 34 chapters. As Seventh-day Adventists, we know the importance of these two books. Hence, she said I should read one chapter each day, along with a chapter from Proverbs. Then, I would be able to read Daniel, Revelation, and Proverbs close to 12 times in a year.
There are many ways to engage yourself in the Word of God daily. My mother’s idea was just one of many ways. I pray that we will take time out of our busy lives and spend the most important time of the day with God from the Scriptures.
