It has been said, “The Psalms are a Christian on his knees (dealing with issues of worship,prayer, and the condition of the heart) and the Proverbs are a Christian on his feet (dealing with relationships, work ethics, attitudes about life in general.)”

A healthy season of spiritual development would be to read (or sing) through five Psalms a day and read one Proverb a day. In a month, you complete a cycle.

Another healthy spiritual discipline is to read the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7, periodically to stay close to Christ’s concentrated teachings.

PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your Word that gives us instruction on life. We will hide it in our heart so we don’t sin against You.

READING: Pr. 25-27
