About this plan
Proverbs is practical wisdom for work, words, money, friendship, family and the fear of the LORD, which it calls “the beginning of knowledge.” A chapter takes about 2–3 minutes.
Many Christians read a chapter of Proverbs every day for years: each month you meet the same verses at a different point in your life, and different ones stand out. In 30-day months, read 30 and 31 together.
How to keep going
- Pray before you read. Ask God to open your eyes to His word. If you want words to start with, here is a prayer before reading the Bible.
- Same time, same place. Tie your reading to something you already do every day: the first coffee, the lunch break, the last ten minutes before bed.
- Write one line. After reading, jot down one verse that stood out and one sentence about it. Some people use S.O.A.P.: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer.
- Read with someone. Share the link with a friend, your spouse or your small group and read the same plan. A short message (“Day 12 done!”) keeps both of you going.
- Missed a day? Keep going. Read today’s reading and catch up on a weekend, or just carry on. The aim is not a perfect checklist but time with God in His word.
Questions
Why read a chapter of Proverbs a day?
Because it fits: 31 chapters for the days of a month, each about 2–3 minutes long. Reading by the date means you never have to remember where you were.
Who wrote Proverbs?
Most of the book is “the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel” (Proverbs 1:1). Proverbs 25–29 were copied by the men of Hezekiah, chapter 30 is the words of Agur and chapter 31 the words of King Lemuel.
What is the theme of Proverbs?
Living wisely before God. Its key line is that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7).
