Welcome to Listing Your Way Through the Bible, our unique bible study based on making lists as we work through daily readings.

The readings for today are Proverbs 3 and 4, and 1 Corinthians 13. Here are some lists for the reader to contemplate while reading.

Proverbs 3:

• Write out verses 5 and 6.

• Draw a vertical line down the center of the page. Label the left column "What we should do" and the right column "Benefits we receive."

• List the information from the reading in the appropriate column.

• List the benefits we receive from finding wisdom and understanding.

• Write out verse 27.

• List the things that are unwise to do.

Proverbs 4:

• List what the benefits are of getting good wisdom and judgment.

• Draw a vertical line down the center of the page. Label the left column "Wicked" and the right column "Righteous."

• List what we learn in this chapter in the appropriate column.

• Write out verse 23.

• Write out verse 25.

1 Corinthians 13:

• Paul writes about the value of love. From the reading, note what we learn about love as seen by:

• its absence (verses 1-3)

• its presence (verses 4-7)

• its comparison (you may wish to draw 2 columns here and label the left column "Other" and the right column "Love")

• Write out verse 13.
