Listen to the Book of Proverbs (Mishlei) to get more wisdom, humility, diligence, prosperity, generosity! For which situation do you want more discernment? What useful skills are evergreen?
How do you use what you understood from this book of Proverbs? I find the book of Proverbs to be the largest single source of practical life skills you can read from any source There are 31 chapters, so if you read one chapter every day for a month you will have an education on how to live a Godly life. The book of Proverbs is complimented by Ecclesiastes, which chronicles the life of Solomon and his quest to find the answers to the purpose of life and the ability to find contentment, happiness, and fulfillment as he returned from a life of empty idolatry, debauchery, and sin, to a life of dedication to God where one can actually find true fulfillment and purpose. An excellent study!
How do you use what you understood from the book of Tehillim aka Psalms as Prayers and Praises lifted to Yehovah God by His people?
Happy is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor take the path of sinners, nor sits in the seats of the scornful. Yet he delights in the law of Yehovah, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither, and whatever he does, shall prosper. The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For Yehovah knows the way of the righteous, yet the way of the wicked will perish.
