If you’re reading this before January 2026, join me in reading 1 chapter per day of Proverbs in January! I am going to share in this post some tips, ideas & resources if you’d like to do MORE than just read the chapter each day and want to dig deeper. Follow me on Instagram and watch my daily stories to join me!
Tips for Digging Deeper into the book of Proverbs
- Choose one verse or passage to memorize from the book of Proverbs, work on it daily.
- Each day as you read the chapter, choose one verse to meditate on through the day. Write that verse, pray about it, journal it.
- Read each chapter in at least 2 different versions. Make note of what words or phrases are different.
- Look up any words that you are unsure of their meaning. Make a note in a journal of these definitions.
- Look up the word “wisdom” and journal all month about what godly wisdom looks like.
- Do a word study on the word wisdom, find other passages in the Bible that discuss wisdom.
- Bible Project overview of the book of Proverbs (8 minute video)
- Paul David Tripp has a 5 minute teaching on each Proverb – I have watched a few and they are SO GOOD! This is just short enough to watch each day as you read the chapter!
The Way of Wisdom Bible Study
I will also be using this new study on the book of Proverbs from several of my favorite Bible teachers, including Jen Wilkin. You can find a spiral version or a non-spiral version that’s a little cheaper here! Note: this is an 8 week study, so I will not be completing this in the month of January OR you could do more than one day of the study per session. I noticed that Lifeway is offering the study videos for free starting January 8th so I will also be watching those! You can find more info about those here.
I am excited to dig into the topic of godly wisdom by reading Proverbs in January! I hope you will join me!
