We will find all of this and more as we study the Proverbs.  What are you hoping to learn through this study?  Will you commit to a month in the Proverbs with me?

Dear Father God, I pray that You will teach me Your wisdom.  Lord, may I grow in understanding as I study Your Truth in the Proverbs.  May Your Word truly become a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path (Psalm 119:105).
