One Bible reading project is to read one Proverb a day. If there are 31 days in the month, then you will have read the entire book of Proverbs in that month. If you do the Proverbs reading project, then I suggest you do, “One Thing I Remember”. The, “One Thing I Remember” is to just write down only one thing from each Proverb chapter that catches your eye and touches your mind and heart. I just finished the Proverbs project for March and my, “One Thing I Remember” comments are listed below.
Mr. G.
PROVERBS: ONE THING I REMEMBER
1:7a The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge
2:7b {He is} a shield to those who walk in integrity,
3:3a Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
4:25 Let your eyes look directly ahead And let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.
5:1 give attention to my wisdom, Incline your ear to my understanding;
6:10-11 "A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest"—
Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.
7:1 keep my words And treasure my commandments within you.
8:17 I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me.
9:9b Teach a righteous man and he will increase {his} learning.
10:7 The memory of the righteous is blessed
11:19 He who is steadfast in righteousness {will attain} to life,
12:17 He who speaks truth tells what is right
13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
14:30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.
15:13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,
16:18 Pride {goes} before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
17:27 He who restrains his words has knowledge, And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD.
19:11 A man's discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
20:27 The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the innermost parts of his being.
21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
22:17-18 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your mind to my knowledge; For it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, That they may be ready on your lips.
23:12 Apply your heart to discipline And your ears to words of knowledge.
24:14 Know {that} wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find {it,} then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off.
25:27 It is not good to eat much honey, Nor is it glory to search out one's own glory.
26:17 {Like} one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by {and} meddles with strife not belonging to him.
27:19 As in water face {reflects} face, So the heart of man {reflects} man.
28:25 An arrogant man stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
29:23 A man's pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
30:33 For the churning of milk produces butter, And pressing the nose brings forth blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.
31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, {But} a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

I try to read my Bible every day, but at first it was so tedious and almost boring i was tempted to stop. But then I actually started thinking about what I read and I've found it is actually fun. I love it because it helps you start every day fresh & with God.
