Dearest e-votees-
Day forty-five of our cover to cover voyage through the Bible. We have completed Psalm (19 down, 47 to go). We have also reached the halfway point in terms of calendar days. If you want to see the readings for our trip through the Bible you can follow this link:

Day 45 Readings: Psalm 135:1-Proverbs 6:35
We have much knowledge these days. When I was in college it was estimated that the bulk amount of knowledge was roughly doubling every 10 years (based on the number of new entries to the Library of Congress card catalog). Imagine how much more bulk knowledge--information to be known--there is compared to the time of the writing of Psalms and Proverbs. It is staggering.
Yet some might make the case that our wisdom has not progressed very much. What we know is very different than how we know and what we do with that knowledge. Some of the ways that knowledge are portrayed in the Bible might strike us as quaint, outdated or simplistic. Perhaps that case can be made. The wisdom that is communicated, however, is timely and a propos.
Wisdom is integral to a good an healthy walk with God. Wisdom is so important in living in this world and loving others as we ought. May our times spent in the days ahead with this wisdom literature truly speak to us.
God, help us to be wise. Help us treasure wisdom alongside of knowledge. Amen.
