from The Resolved to Read Podcast · host Jennifer Jolene Deal

In today’s reading from selected Proverbs, we face the everyday battleground of the heart—self‑control versus impulse. These passages warn against anger, rashness, and a quick temper; counsel patience; and expose the ruin of drunkenness, gluttony, adultery, and prostitution. Wisdom calls us to discipline our desires, guard our steps, and choose the path that leads to life.In today’s reading from selected Proverbs on wisdom, we hear Solomon’s call to pursue understanding above wealth, honor, or ambition. These passages remind us that wisdom is not merely knowledge—it is a way of life grounded in the fear of the Lord, shaped by humility, and marked by choices that lead to blessing and stability. As we listen, we’re invited to examine our own paths and embrace the wisdom that God freely offers.Resolved to Read is a daily chronological Bible podcast guiding you through Scripture in one year—with short readings, quiet moments of reflection, and warm, every‑other‑week conversations that bring faith to life.Join the journey, stay consistent in God’s Word, and grow spiritually one day at a time.📖 Subscribe on your favorite podcast app or watch on YouTube. 🎧 Listen daily + find the full reading plan by following along in the Daily Bible in Chronological Order edited by F.
