Day 154 of Heart Dive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kanoi. Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

We're talking about wisdom today, opening up a brand new book in the book of Proverbs. The first

three chapters in this book. Of course, it has been attributed to the writings of

Solomon. But before we get into that, if you can please hit the roll call button, that's that

Otherwise, that's all I've got, so let's pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you so much for this day. We honor you. We bless your holy name. We thank you for who you are. We thank you for being Almighty God, but also being our friend, for being the one who is close to us, who comforts us, who dwells within us, who guides our steps, who walks with us through the fire. We thank you so much that you are here with us now. Just the same way that you're with us when we

were having issues, the same way that you will be with us in the future. Please forgive us of our

sins, Lord. We just ask that you please cleanse us now. Allow your blood to wash over us. And as we

read your word, the living water today, I pray that it will nourish us, that it will refresh us,

that it will bring encouragement. But I also pray that it will nourish us, that it will refresh us, that it will bring encouragement,

but I also pray that it will bring the correction that is necessary for us to live a life of

righteousness and holiness. Help us to also forgive others, Lord, and we just pray that everything

that we do in our actions and our thoughts, the way that we talk, Lord, that it will be honoring

to you. That's what we want to do with our lives, God. We want to be able to bless you because you are worthy of it. And so as we open up the daily manna, I just pray that we'll get everything that we need today that is necessary for us to be able to walk out this week. And may it continue to change us, Lord, from glory to glory. We love you so much in Jesus

name. Amen. So what is a proverb? A proverb is a short, concise sentence that conveys some

sort of moral truth or a wise statement. Again, the author of the book of Proverbs, mostly Solomon,

but also attributed to Eager, Lemuel, and Wise Men. The purpose of this book was to

provide wisdom, to give general guidance on the how-to of life. Now, there are 31 Proverbs. This is a really

good book. If you are ever wanting to do a month-long study and you don't know where to begin,

Proverbs is a great place to begin. Because it's kind of

this how to live out a godly life. You can do one proverb a day, journal on it, dissect it. It's a really
