DAILY WISDOM FROM THE BOOK OF PROVERBS

God wants to give you wisdom, so thank you for being someone who will take the time to make that happen! We have chosen 31 verses from the Book of Proverbs and we are challenging you to read one every day. We encourage you to find a consistant time each day (Example: Right before eating lunch) to spend 30 seconds reflecting on that day’s verse. We also would encourage you to put this website on your cell phone’s front page, so that you can access it easily. We are so excited for you!
