Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go.
For each section of this reading plan, we will commit a proverb to memory that summarizes the theme of the week’s reading. This week, we will memorize a proverb about the fear of God and the wisdom that God offers believers.
The fear of the LORD
is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and discipline.
—Proverbs 1:7

Sometimes we think we choose our life and forget god does. Instead of choosing is you are gonna do what he says just do it. We make it complicated but it’s really simple. This is a good verse to come back when you are feeling iffy about gods choice.
I feel this! You’re definitely not alone cause I am the exact same way!
I pray that you will always guide me and lead me on the right paths. I know how important it is to seek you and choose you!
Praise God for explaining the concept of fearing Him to me.
Lord, forgive me for the times I’ve failed to seek you and be directed and lead by You. Help me to seek you in all things, great and small, and grow in wisdom from on high. You are worthy!
I want to live a life full of knowledge and wisdom. I know that my path will be directed by God in this.
Memorized!
Saved!!
Yes having trouble downloading images also
I have learned in my 65 years that it is so important to seek God for guidance and wisdom in all things big or small.
The lord is our wisdom amd strength.
The Lord is always our wisdom and truth & we must always stop and seek him first and his will before our own.
I also have issues downloading the images. I have an android, anyone else?
Amen
I’m having issues downloading the image.
Is anyone else having trouble downloading the images?
This! ❤️ I’m finding this to be true in my life.
A few nights ago, I went climbing again. I’m a member at a rock-climbing gym that has two levels of walls. The lower level with the higher wall is called “The Pit.” I have resolved to climb at least one “Pit” wall every day in preparation for a real climb at Sand Rock in Alabama. These walls are majestic and intimidating, and I find myself still somewhat afraid of heights. This past visit, as I went into the “Pit” there were many people standing around the route I had my eye on. So, it was not my fear of heights that won out in me, it was my fear of man mixed with my fear of failure. I walked away from this visit realizing that I knew that rock wall no better than when I came in because my fear kept me from the knowledge that I would have gained from climbing. For this reason, I pray with all of my heart that God will give me the fear of the Lord that keeps me climbing the heights while making me wise to the fear of man that causes a person to stand still in terror not only on a rock wall, but in all circumstances of life. “The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!” (Habakuk 3:19 AMPC).
This one always gets me. I definitely do not like being told no and my first reaction to instruction is anger (I hold it inside thankfully and save myself some embarrassment of having a poor reaction ) and then I realize they’re usually right. But my first reaction is to think they’re wrong. I have to control my inner “Karen” but I really wish she wasn’t in there at all. I don’t want to be a fool! I need to realize instruction isn’t rejection. And stop taking “no” so personally. I’d never ever yell at someone. But I want to take instruction with grace and thankfulness not hidden anger.
Yes all of should be praying for our nation. Let the church arise.
So true.
Shasta,
Not sure if this is allowed or not on SRT. Please look into ‘thyroid pharmacist.’ She is a doctor who has written some great books on Hashimotos and has a wealth of free knowledge on her website (which she backs with studies.) She has a giving heart and shares all her wisdom God has given her to guide others to their own healing journey. Praying for your healing journey and all others who have an autoimmune condition. Each day is a new day for healing. God bless
Praying for everyone in this time. May we all be blessed with the knowledge and wisdom from him! Stay strong in are faith. He always provides !
Perhaps now more than any other time in our 244-year history, America is teetering on a precipice. Over the last few months we have seen chaos and unrest turn friend against friend and split families apart. These deep divisions are trying to take our focus away from God’s truth.
Today starts the final 10 days to our election. Would you join me and 86,000 other Americans in committing to a minimum of 10 minutes of prayer a day for our nation. Pray points may include
1) praying for Candidates – federal, state, and local; that they would have Godly wisdom
2). safety for candidates
3). safety at the poles
4). that election would be fair and honest with no foreign interference
5) the media would be fair and honest
6). the final outcome would be very clear
7) God’s will be done
May we be Daniel’s for America.
May God Bless.
I do not like it when I’m that fool.
BUT I ‘m thankful that my Jesus gives me grace. And for the most part so do the people I love but I don’t like it when I mess up. And I must be willing and open for correction as it’s for my own good. Even when I don’t like it. 
Praying for you, Shasta and Angela.
To Angela S ⬆️
My heart goes out to you. While my circumstances are different, so much of what you wrote mirrors my experience at this moment. I have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Over the last month, the medication I take was recalled, and then I had a dental infection that led to sepsis. Recovery is slow, and my comprehension seems to be even slower due to brain fog. Each day I worship from my bed, knowing that when words fail me, the Spirit of the Living God is within me and interceding on my behalf.
I pray for you to have a quick recovery. ❤️
Praise God we have some snow in Colorado today. Hoping and praying it keeps coming and God puts out these fires. Wisdom and knowledge start with the fear of the Lord. Reverence for the One who is on the throne and in control and who looks out for our good. Amazing God how can it be, that you would choose to suffer and die for a wretch like me? Thank you Jesus. Praying for you Angela, wisdom for your doctors, complete healing and no more pain. I know He draws nearer as we worship, may you feel His joy in your love and praise of our King. He is so worthy. Sing praises Sisters! His love never fails.
I’m here at home, propped up in my bed, as I have been since Tuesday. I’m having a painful issue with an ovarian cyst, and I have to admit, I haven’t enjoyed being stuck here. With pain meds, I’ve been feeling groggy and I’m feeling physically weak, so I’ve been struggling the last few days to take in what I want to take in from these Scriptures. I’ve been frustrated with myself for the lack of insight…and here this morning, alone as my husband and kids went to church without me and I was feeling sad that I couldn’t go and lead worship, I felt the Lord gently remind me that I can worship Him here, from my bed, and it can be deep worship. And these Scriptures I’ve been reading…the Holy Spirit is the One who teaches and He also understands where I’m at right now. He will whisper truth and wisdom from them to me when I allow myself to rest, physically and spiritually. So I will worship here alone, knowing I’m not actually alone, and I will keep reading Truth and trust that the words are being stored up in my heart and held by the Spirit.
The study this week has really been convicting me. I have been wise in my own eyes and have shunned discipline. Lord help me! I have been blessed with a very wise husband whose correction I have not welcomed. I often feel so attacked when criticized. I justify and out come my claws. At first, I was not thrilled with the format of this study. I guess I just wanted the usual. But this has been such a great week of growing pains! It is sometimes hard to admit how unruly I can be and have been all my life. Thank you all for being here and helping rein me in, even if you don’t know it! I love this community. I love how the Lord gives us just what we need. I look forward to His discipline and finding his teachers all around me. Thank you all for being part of my journey.
I’ve been wanting to grow my relationship with God. I’ve always wanted to do it but didn’t know where to start. I started with my prayer life. However, I was still wanting to be in God’s word as well. I didn’t know where to start. It was truly a God thing that I decided to download this app and get access to the studies with the study of Proverbs starting. I think this is a perfect place for me to have started because we learned about rules and what God likes and what he doesn’t! Thank you for that!!
Realizing I am playing the fool when I resent correction was a tough reality this week. Circling back to this for memory is even more powerful.
Tending to my relationship with the Lord will find me more in awe of Him. The more intimacy I have with Him, the greater the knowledge I have for He is all wisdom.
How does a man become wise?
The first step is to trust and reverence the Lord!
Only fools refuse to be taught.
