Today’s Reading

6/8/2019       Day 158 Proverbs 3:1 – 35

Reflection |

Today

The chapter highlights how the sages understand the world
to work, namely, by God’s wisdom, God created the world,
giving it shape, meaningful order, and coherence that God
continues to uphold. The wise a line themselves with God.

(NOAB5 notes)

Background |

A proverb is a statement of apparent truth that is based on
human experience and has endured over time. Attributed to
King Solomon but the composition of the book happened over
Centuries. Wisdom is a central character of the book along with
a woman of substance. The beauty of the book is that you can
focus on one verse or read the entire book as a literary whole.

O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ

with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless,

but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place

where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
