I’ve blogged about Proverbs before. God loves redundancy and so do I. One of the ways we lock something into our memory is through repetition. I prefer to think of repetition as affirmations and we can’t do that too much. You are what you think about. Proverbs was written by Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. It’s fitting that God chose Solomon to share the wisdom of God with us. Proverbs is like found gold and we would be remiss if we failed to advantage of it.
