Every moment of my day, I am either being a wise woman building my house or I am being a foolish woman, tearing it down with my own hands. There is no in between. My desire is to be wise. To build my house, my family...but far to often I see that my attitude, my decisions, my selfishness displays my folly. I do not want to tear my house down...and certainly not with my own hands. What a danger there is in foolishness. This blog is to give me a place to share my journey from foolishness into wisdom, from house destroyer into house builder.

That they may be ready on your Lips

Memorization has again come up. 

Proverbs 22:17-18
Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise and apply your mind to my knowledge; For it will be pleasant if you keep them  within you, That they may be ready on your lips.

How can these words of the wise be in my mind and on my lips if they are not studied, meditated upon and memorized? 

This is one of my goals of the way I am studying right now.  Reading the same chapter in Proverbs as is the date (thus all the Proverbs 22 posts today) and reading all of the Psalms for his date plus 30 through the end of the book.  This means I can read all of the Psalms and Proverbs each month.  Although I'm not memorizing, I'm hoping that the verses will become more and more familiar each month and will be mediated upon through the day.  So far....I like it.
