Bible Question: Can someone explain to me how to do a study of Proverbs and Psalms. It goes something like- "add 30 to each Proverb you read ......????? |
Bible Answer: Dear DJ7, There is a common method for reading Proverbs, I tried it and enjoyed it, then went on to deeper studies. It happens that there are 31 chapters in the Book of Proverbs. One for each day of the month, so it can be read according to the date, that is today's date is the 13th, so you would read chapter 13. If it were the 8th, you would read chapter 8. on the 30th, you read chapter 30 and if that is the last day of the month, you need to squeeze in chapter 31 somewhere, anybody have any ideas? This also works for the Book of Psalms, since there are 150 chapters. Although I have not done this, I have heard of people who read 3 chapters daily for each day of the month. This would amount to a lot to keep up with when you arrive at Chapter 119. here is some interesting information for someone about to embark on a journey through Psalms. Psalm 119, the longest Psalm, is the longest chapter in the Bible. Psalm 117 is the shortest, and in between the two is Psalm 118, which is the chapter of the exact center of the Bible, and it contains the exact center verse, vs 9, and the exact middle two words are "the Lord". It takes two words to be in the middle because the number of words is not an odd number. Some of my memory on this is a bit faint, so if anyone can correct me or add to this, please feel free and you are most welcome to do so. There are many other instances in which Psalms reveal the tremendous depth of God's insight and that there are many dimensions to His Word that we have only begun to realize. Praise Him and good luck with your studies! In His Grip, Tim |
