Proverbs contains lots of wisdom. I've heard somewhere that it is a good book to read daily since there are 31 chapters, which nearly coincides with the number of days in a month. So after finishing up Ephesians, I decided to spend some time there.
The verses from Chapter 8 that struck me most today were 10 and 11:
"Receive my instruction in preference to silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For Wisdom is better than corals,
and no choice possession can compare with her."
Sometimes I get down on myself for my lack of a sense of humor, but these verses help me feel good about my pursuit of wisdom. Not that I can't lighten up a bit, but I still feel validated for wanting to read more and learn more all of the time.
