I love the book of Proverbs. It is filled with wise words and truths. Some of it a little hard to swallow but truth always wins. I picked 25 of my favorite verses in Proverbs (which was really hard to do by the way). I left out some of the most quoted ones however, there are a few I included due to the fact that they’ve spoken to me so much this year. So there’s nothing new under the sun with this post, but I hope more than anything it stirs up a deeper yearning of His word. So dive into Proverbs with me….
Proverbs 1:7
