Ladies-
The benefit of this challenge would allow us the opportunity to renew our minds daily, give us insight on what pleases God, and help us to apply some of the knowledge in Proverbs to our very own personal lives.
This challenge would consist that we set time aside each day to read and meditate on one chapter in the book of Proverbs. Since there are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs the challenge would be for 31 days.
Each day one of us would post the chapter for the day. And we could feel free to expound on any verse(s) and share how a verse has blessed us.
So Who's Up for the Challenge!?! We could end 2009 with renewed hearts and minds, strengthened, encouraged, and wiser!
The challenge would begin on November 16th and end on December 16th.

Here is a little history that I found on the book of Proverbs.....
King Solomon is the principal writer of Proverbs. During his reign as king, the nation of Israel reached its pinnacle spiritually, politically, culturally, and economically. As Israel's reputation soared, so did King Solomon's. Foreign dignitaries from the far reaches of the known world traveled great distances to hear the wise monarch speak (1 Kings 4:34).
Knowledge is nothing more than an accumulation of raw facts, but wisdom is the ability to see people, events, and situations as God sees them. In the Book of Proverbs, Solomon reveals the mind of God in matters high and lofty and in common, ordinary, everyday situations, too. It appears that no topic escaped King Solomon's attention. Matters pertaining to personal conduct, sexual relations, business, wealth, charity, ambition, discipline, debt, child-rearing, character, alcohol, politics, revenge, and godliness are among the many topics covered in this rich collection of wise sayings.
