31 in 31

Hello Everyone:

I just wanted to jump on the blog this morning to let you know about the exciting program that God has lain on my heart for the month of March. We will be implementing a reading program called 31 in 31. We fondly subtitle it “Thirty-one days to a wiser you!” Anyone interested? We will be reading one chapter from the book of proverbs each day in the month of March. Since there are thirty-one chapters in proverbs and March has 31 days, we thought it was the prefect way to blend a bit of spiritual discipline with a relevant and tangible schedule. We believe that not only is this goal attainable but also carries with it a bit of a challenge.

So why will this project make us wiser? My Bible has a great explanation for us. “A proverb is a brief statement of a moral truth. The purpose of Proverbs is not simply to give advice, although many proverbs are very practical in their application. The deeper intention of the book is to shape godly character with divine wisdom. Behind Proverbs is the only wise God, the source of true wisdom.” (The NIV Worship Bible p.826) As we work our way through the chapters of Proverbs we will be unfolding the wisdom of God, wisdom that He wants us to embrace as we walk out His calling in our lives. I believe if you invest fully in this program all the way to its finish, you will have become a wiser woman of God.

The launch date for this reading program will be March 1st. Every Thursday we will put up a post where it will be your turn to tell us what God is speaking to you personally as you read through proverbs. The proverbial question (no pun intended) will be “How has God made you smarter this week?” You can share an insight, understanding, direction or just the verse that brought ministry to you. If you prefer, you could also answer that same question on facebook or maybe with a good friend over a cup of coffee. If that is the case, find yourself a buddy who will keep you on track. We picked Thursday because of the Thirty-one emphasis. Silly but it will help you remember.

We are praying that God really meets you during this one month of commitment. We know that He has extraordinary wisdom He wants to speak to you. I hope you join us!

Love you all so much!
