Hi,

I wasn't sure whether I should try to do another devotional series this year. However, since it was profitable for me to do the writing, I decided to continue sending something out on a daily basis for my own sake. If it is a help to you as well, then I praise the Lord for it.

I am going to begin this year trying to look at a verse in Proverbs each day. I know of several people who read a chapter of Proverbs every day in addition to their regular Bible reading. Since there are 31 chapters in Proverbs, and 31 days in 8 of the 12 months, it is pretty easy to read the first chapter on the first day of the month, the second chapter on the second day, and so on. Since Proverbs is a book of wisdom, and all of us certainly can use wisdom from God in our daily lives, I believe that it is a good book to study.

I would not recommend that you limit your Bible reading this year to only the book of Proverbs. As mentioned above, this would be a supplement to your regular devotional reading. Since we will be looking at each chapter multiple times during the year, the individual devotionals will probably be much shorter than the ones last year.

I hope these are a blessing and encouragement to you.

Happy New Year.
