The May Project - Guidelines

Welcome to the May Project. I hope you will commit to joining us in this endeavor through the month of May. We have been challenged to read the book of Proverbs over the month of May. James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." OK. I want that - don't you? Not just knowledge ... but all the way to wisdom - all the way to being able to carefully handle knowledge - to use it in Godly ways.

The guidelines for this particular project are:

1. Read one chapter of Proverbs each day - the chapter number corresponding to the day of the month.

2. As you read, if a particular verse jumps off the page for you, stop there and reflect on it. Write it down to carry with you that day. Post it on this site with a comment about why it stood out to you.

3. If you miss some days, don't give up the project! The chapter corresponds to the day's date - so pick up and keep going. Remember, "anything you do is better than doing nothing at all!"

4. The umbrella that covers this project is the following prayer:

Lord, Your servant James told us that if we wanted wisdom, we were to ask You. Here we are, asking. We want Your wisdom, not just knowledge. We want to be able to use knowledge in Godly ways. We long to walk in Your wisdom in our lives, in our homes, in our relationships and in our churches. Teach us Lord. We are seeking You ...


I look forward to hearing from you. We all look forward to learning how God is teaching us wisdom as we pursue this treasure.
