Summary

Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where you can listen to a chapter of Proverbs in about five minutes. What we gain in this daily habit is priceless! Whenever we mishandle a situation, it is due to either a lack of wisdom or the failure to apply wise principles. Wisdom helps us to make better choices and decisions. God wants to help us to become wiser, but we have to turn away from our own self-directed living and trade it for God's direction. Here's a great reminder verse for the week from Proverbs 1:23: "Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you."

0:34.4

why do I keep falling in the same areas, it could be as simple as this.

You're spiritually underfed. Let God fix that. He'll feed you daily. Just show up for the meal.

1:13.7

to perceive the words of understanding, to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment,

and equity, to give subtlety to the simple, to the young man, knowledge, and discretion.

1:26.0

A wise man will hear and will increase learning,

1:29.2

and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels, to understand a proverb and the

interpretation, the words of the wise and their dark sayings. The fear of the Lord is the beginning
