Commit To Learning

Good morning all!
Did you have a good weekend? I had an awesome weekend! Great word delivered in church and spent time with my lovely wife!!

You know where we are today: chapter 23, my bold print is verse 12, in the NLTse

12 Commit yourself to instruction; listen carefully to words of knowledge.

I am enjoying the study of Proverbs with you!! I have been learning some much during our time together. what about you?? Today's bold print encourages us "commit to instruction (or learning) and to listen carefully to words of knowledge." Commit means "to pledge oneself with a promise to do." So this means we pledge to learn godly instruction and listen carefully to words of knowledge!! Everyday...making it a habit. (Search this blog and you will find a post where we taking aboutstudy a habit.)

The thing I am pointing out today is to commit to your Proverbs-a-day study --- everyday!! Listen carefully to words of knowledge and apply them to your lives. When you study Proverbs you should have a pen & paper, computer or laptop, OR a PDA so you can write down your bold print and have a system so that you constantly review it. "Truth unrehearsed is soon forgotten." ~ AR Bernard. Commit yourself to learning...

No games, no attempt at motivating you other than to say: you have put it off long enough -- its time to commit!! Let's learn to be as wise as we can be!!

Make wise choices today...commit yourself to the godly instruction in Proverbs!!
