61 Days of Faith
Since I have encouraged those who attend Southside Church to read Proverbs each day for 61 days beginning April 1, I have been using this for my Quiet Time. It is the first time in several years that I have read Proverbs day by day. I have read a one here and there by the day of the month method we are using now, but not every day. In doing so now, it has been a joy for me and once again shows me that there is so much that I can apply to my life and make it easier. Reading Proverbs encourages me to to do as the title of my blog shows, I want to grow spiritually more and more. The more I grow in Him the more I want to grow! My Quiet Time and applying it to my life does help me to grow in Christ!

One day since I began reading proverbs stands out and I want to share it. This is part of what I wrote in my spiritual journal on April 14:

"As I read this morning, the dominate thought in my mind is to be all God wants me to be, by living according to the wisdom He gives me. I see several things to avoid in this Proverb that will give me longer life. I see the reason why God gave so much wisdom to live by in all of the Bible. I just need to apply all I know and learn! I pray that my children, grand children and their children would live by the wisdom that is found here in Proverbs as well as all of Scripture!
All of this just keeps reinforcing that the Bible is the Handbook For Life!" Thanks Lord for Your Word and how it guides me."
