As we enter into a new year, we often open ourselves up to the wisdom of others. We will read a book that tells us how to be more organized, how to eat more healthily, how to be better at parenting or our jobs. The new year makes us open to new suggestions. While we are in that frame of mind, it seems only right to open our minds, not just to the wisdom of self-help books, but to the wisdom of the scriptures. More specifically, to this unique part of the bible called Proverbs. The proverbs are not commandments like you find in Exodus or Leviticus. They are not rules that are listed . But they are good and godly guidance written to help set us on the right path.  This January , let’s dive into a few places in the book of proverbs to understand what the scriptures are saying and what great wisdom they have to give us.
