DAY 30- Proverbs 1
Proverbs 1 contains the wise sayings of Solomon who was David's son and the king of Israel. These admonitions and words of advice are given to us so we'll know how to live right, and to understand what life means and where it's going. It's like an operating manual for life. It teaches what is right, just, and fair. It has something for everyone- the inexperienced, young people, even seasoned men and women.
The whole process starts with learning to bow down to God. Only a fool would turn his back on such an opportunity at wisdom and learning, yet I've been a fool for years. I have passed up thousands of chances to sit at God's feet and learn His ways, gaining wisdom. I can't even imagine how different my life would be had I taken advantage of all those years, all those days I could have spent time learning God's wisdom by having a simple, daily quiet time.
Understanding how to live well, how to have a meaningful life begins with wisdom. Anyone who desires it can have it, and it only takes self-discipline to acquire it. No special skills are required and God gives on-the-job training. The only thing that will stop or delay us from reaching our goal is if we stop pursuing it.

Wow, you actually made it through 30 days...congratulations. I posted on day 1 that I was glad someone actually followed my lead...and I just discovered it today. Looks great. I like the Proverbs each day idea. I think you've inspired me to do it.
