So I've always known there are exactly 31 Chapters in the Old Testament Book of Wise Sayings written by (or related to the wisdom of) King Solomon.
BUT - then it occurred to me there are - at most - 31 days in a month.
LIGHT BULB! Hey! That means there is a chapter of wise sayings - for every day of the month! In a book that has been at the top of best-seller lists for thousands of years! What!?!
Anywhoo ... this is certainly not a new revelation for a lot of folks but it is to me and I for one am taking great advantage of it!
Starting with the new year, I have been reading the corresponding chapter of Proverbs for each day. And may I just tell you there is some GOOD STUFF in there! I mean some REAL WISDOM! Better yet, its TOTALLY PRACTICAL and RELATE-ABLE!
So now I have started back at the beginning of the Proverbs - February 1st, obviously. So I'm on the 2nd Chapter today. And I am psyched about the wisdom I am still mining from this knowledge base even the second time around! I have a feeling the real wisdom here is infinite - but as one stubborn and generally undeterred explorer, I have a bigger feeling that I will go as deep and wide as I can to search out as much of it as I can!
Challenge: Try it. Seriously. Just one chapter a day. I'm going to be the Second WISEST person in the world! Yes!! Okay. Probably not. BUT, no doubt I have found a deep well of knowledge leading to a wiser way of being - if I actually apply this great wisdom - which I am [trying]. I'll keep you posted.
Feel free to join me on the adventure.
Feeling wiser already,
