Proverbs and Parenting

When I was a kid, I loved the book of Proverbs. I have a notebook I started on my own from about age twelve where I started a topical list of all the different people in Proverbs (I’m sure I got the idea from a sermon somewhere) and the variety of topics. It was during this time that I first really became interested in wisdom. You’ve probably heard that there’s 31 chapters in Proverbs, so it’s easy to read one chapter a day as part of your Bible reading time.

I haven’t done that in awhile. I guess I’ve been reading other things. But I’ve been reading it for the last week, and have been challenged and nourished by what I’ve found. I keep seeing verses that apply to situations I’ve seen at my household, and I know that regular reading will help me remember them when those situations arise again. So I think I’m going to keep at it.

  • I am planning to use Proverbs as a daily reading with the kids before the leave for school this year. As they get older, it has gotten harder to find a time that we are all together…so I am going to discipline myself to make breakfast that time.

  • That’s a great idea. I think Proverbs are fun for children because they’re like a word puzzle: you have to figure out the meaning. Keep us posted on how it goes.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog, but my greatest desire for my audience is that they would be inspired and motivated to search the scriptures for themselves. God promises to give wisdom to any believer who searches for it His way. Here are some Bible study links I have found of interest and help.

Chronological Bible: ESV

Read the Bible chronologically. The first time I read through the Bible in the order everything happened, I learned so much and gained an incredible understanding of the big picture of Scripture. If you've never done it, you should!

Bible Gateway

From this website you can search for scriptures in a number of versions and languages by key words, phrases, or references. I use this website often when I post Scripture on my blog, so then I don't have to worry about typing in the verse accurately.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

This is a fantastic online version of a classic reference tool. Basically this is a list of cross references based on particular passages. Simply click on the verse or passage you are studying, and you will find other references to other relevant Scripture.

Bible Commentaries Online

A list of classic Bible commentaries. Sometimes they're hard to understand, but they can be helpful when you're wanting more insight into a passage you are studying.

More Bible Study Resources

This is a page of links for articles and audio on the topic of studying the Bible. Some are not easy to read, but they are helpful.
The rest of this website has a tremendous amount of resources that may be of interest.
