Proverbios 3:33

The Essential 100® Bible Challenge is a simple tool to read through the Big Story of God's Word. The reading plan is based on 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament passages. Continue with the ninth part "Psalms and Proverbs." ®Produced by American Bible Society in partnership with Scripture Union, Inc.

If you desire godly wisdom, there is no greater document than the book of Proverbs. It touches every aspect of our daily lives. Other books emphasise 'what' and 'why'. Proverbs teaches 'how'.

Something in you wants to know what you were made to do. That longing is God drawing you toward something He designed specifically for you. Proverbs 3 gives us two goals: walk in wisdom, and discover our purpose. Over five days, with additional Scriptures, we will explore why God's design for you is specific rather than vague, what clarity actually feels like, and why He hid your purpose in a way that draws you closer to Him. Each day ends with one small action, so you finish the week already on your way. Clarity changes everything.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.
