The Book of Proverbs is in the Old Testament. It has 31 chapters. Every chapter has wisdom and advice, which are still relevant today. I’m following reflection and meditation guide in The Catholic Youth Bible. I have re-written my interpretation to better understand how to study the book of Proverbs.
How to read and meditate on each chapter in Proverbs:
- Read one chapter every day or night, depending on when it is convenient for you. Underline your bible and write in a dedicated notebook, the sentence which best resonates with you.
- Talk to your family, or friend about the line that you like best. Explain why you like that line. Share the word of God.
- Make the Proverb’s chapter One, a part of our daily life. Act and live out the advice and wisdom of the sentence you’ve underlined and copied into your dedicated note book. Bring that note book with you everywhere you go. Memorise the sentence so that you will be reminded whenever you encounter instances where it can be applied in your life.
I choose Proverbs 1: 32
For waywardness kills the simple,
and the complacency of fools destroys them;
but those who listen to me will be secure
and will live at ease, without dread of disaster.
I choose this verse because I see some people near me telling lies, cheating others, hurting people and remaining in a cycle of continuing to do the same negative acts.
