Whereas there is no narrative or story line in the Proverbs, there are individual nuggets of wisdom and truth for the follower of Christ.

Each thought is worthy of consideration and rumination (chewing the cud). For that reason, it’s helpful to read them slowly giving time for the needed reflection.

They are useful in a Bible study format where the facilitator reads one thought and the participators share personal impressions or life-applications of the verse.

The Proverbs are a Christian on his feet … how to walk out life’s challenges.
