31 Days To Wisdom, Coming Alive
7 Comments
​I think I may have lost my marbles.  Or maybe had  slightly  to much coffee to celebrate National Coffee Day (which I feel really is everyday actually).  I decided to join the group of folks who write everyday for the 31 days of October.  I really really hope I follow through folks.   Would you hold me accountable by joining me here for the next 31 days?

I think this is crazy because October is my craziest busiest month for Coming Alive Ministries.  But hey, why not throw a little extra crazy in the mix.  

So the post title.. 31 days of wisdom (for the wanna be wise)

I am a wanna be wise girl.

I want to make wise  girl. I want to make wise decisions.  I want the words that come out of my mouth to be wisely chosen.  Instead I often wonder why in the world did I just say that.

I want to follow God’s plans, not Jenn’s ideas.  

And so I want to be wise. 

This summer I was challenged in a talk to get a scripture buddy and go through a proverb a day for the 31 days of  month.  I got a scripture buddy and we set off to read Proverbs together. I was so SURPRISED at what the Lord showed me.

True confession time:  I had kindof always stayed away from Proverbs because it felt like a series of fortune cookie sayings.

ok. I said it.

But once I studied them, I realized why it’s called a book of Wisdom– it’s full of just that.

So you want to study a Proverb a day with me  for the next month (insert your excited cheers here)

Since  I have rambled and there isn’t much time here left before you will leave this post for two many words– let me just start with Proverbs 1:33 , an awesome promise to chew on.

Whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease without fear of disaster.  

Now who cannot tell me those words are not refreshing balm to our souls.  (balm, really who uses that word?)

Listening to the Lord  and HIS truth gives me this promise– I will dwell secure and will be at ease without fear.

Makes me sure want to lean in and listen to His words of wisdom– how about you?

What is one area of your mind you would like to experience ease?

  3. I’d like to be as ease in regard with a commitment to write for 31 days…yikes! I’m a new blogger who barely knows how to make a post, but I feel God calling me to share a story of hope for weary wives. So here goes, I’m jumping in and trusting God will help me be at ease with this decision. By the way…one Christian fortune cookie a day is going to be great…lol! Thanks for your honesty.

  5. Sinking my roots again into Proverbs 3:5-6…. verses learned some 50 years ago, yet STILL (!) so critical to ponder and apply. How I need to acknowledge the Lord’s wisdom for every single decision, every single question, every single wisdom. Leaning on Him–not on my own skewed understanding. This is my wisdom-oasis for today.

  6. Great subject. 31 chapters, one for each day of the month 😊. Chapter 2, I think, instructs us ‘how’ too find wisdom. Correction….line one – “too much coffee” – too. I’ll be following.
