Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where you can listen to a chapter of Proverbs in about five minutes. What we gain in this daily habit is priceless!
Whenever we mishandle a situation, it is due to either a lack of wisdom or the failure to apply wise principles. Wisdom helps us to make better choices and decisions.
God wants to help us to become wiser, but we have to turn away from our own self-directed living and trade it for God's direction. Here's a great reminder verse for the week from Proverbs 1:23: "Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you."

Are We Like Jonah?
Have you ever felt like a person or a people group deserve punishment, but you don’t? There was a man in scripture like that. His name was Jonah, and he lacked mercy but expected to receive it. Are we like Jonah?
Sometimes I think we're more like the bad actors in the Bible than the good ones.
A careful study of the book of Jonah reveals several common problems. It’s easy to point out Jonah’s faults, but he really was a lot like us. We want people to forgive us when we’re wrong, but we may not be so willing to show them the same kind of mercy. Let’s study four lessons from the book of Jonah.

Build Your Bible Habit-Proverbs Chapter 17
Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit! The next five minutes in Proverbs chapter 17 will increase your wisdom and strength, if you apply what you learn. Daily Proverbs are to the soul what powerful nutrients are to the physical body: life-changing.
Here's a verse for your week:
"The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with." (Proverbs 17:14)
Practice it:
The next time you sense a conversation is turning into an argument, "leave off contention." You don't have to argue, and the discussion can continue when both sides have cooled off. Learn to recognize "the beginning of strife" and don't keep talking past that point. Pause.

Replay Wednesday-Did God Answer Your Prayer?
Welcome to Replay Wednesday, where you'll hear the most popular episodes from previous seasons. This week's episode, "Did God Answer Your Prayer?" was downloaded thousands of times. Many people wonder why God supposedly "didn't answer," but is that accurate?
If the answer to our prayers is according to God's will, things may turn out differently than how we prayed. If we really mean it when we pray, "Thy will be done," then we must accept that God's will may or may not match our prayer request.
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10)

Build Your Bible Habit-Proverbs Chapter 3
Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where you can listen to a chapter of Proverbs to grow in wisdom and knowledge. One of the most popular passages from Proverbs 3 is found in verses 5-6:
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
It's one thing to know this passage. It's a lot harder to live it. As you're listening to Proverbs 3, carefully consider each verse and ask yourself this question: "Do I live by this, or just listen to it?"
Bible application can be summed up in two words: live it.
