Some people like to read a small number of proverbs, so they can run them through their heads as they go on about the day. Whatever technique you use, keep two things in mind: think carefully about each proverb, and try to put each into the bigger context of the teachings of all of Proverbs.
The book of Proverbs is divided into two main parts: an introduction in the first nine chapters and the proverbs themselves in the remaining 22 chapters. If you skip the introduction, you won't understand the point of Proverbs as a book. It introduces "Lady Wisdom," and explains what she can do for you. |
