The Daily Devotional Series: Proverbs
()
About this ebook
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction,” Proverbs 1:7.
Proverbs is a book full of wisdom. This practical “how-to” book is devoted to helping people seek out the knowledge they need to navigate many of life’s toughest challenges. Over the centuries, many people who have sought after wisdom have poured over the verses of this book seeking wisdom for their lives from the many profound truths compiled in these verses.
Christian devotional author Kristi Burchfiel uses her signature style to focus on 31 verses, providing brief devotionals and responses to those verses while moving through a chapter of Proverbs each day. The intent is to provide an overview to this wonderful book and encourage readers to take one truth from God’s Word, focus on it, and apply it to life today so that we may each find the “beginning of knowledge” and not be deemed “fools.”
Kristi Burchfiel
I never thought that the difficult times I found myself stuck in would result in a Bible study. As a young pastor’s wife, I found myself digging deep into the book of Ecclesiastes looking for answers to the questions that overwhelmed my life: How do I prioritize my life? What things should I focus on? What do I do when things don’t work out my way? How do I avoid having regrets later on? Those questions and the answers I learned paved the way for my first book Without Regrets. Since then, I’ve experienced the amazing truths that God has for us in the Bible and I am passionate about sharing those truths with others in a way that they can apply those truths to their lives. I write Christian Daily Devotionals, including a devotional for the day, as well as Bible studies and I love to share and to pray for people through my Facebook Page and on Twitter. I also enjoy the opportunity to speak and encourage others whether it’s a small study group or a large women’s conference. I grew up in Valley Center, Kansas and received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, Oklahoma. I’ve been married to my husband D Burchfiel for 16 years and we enjoy our 2 children, Rebekah and Andrew. We currently make our home in Wichita, Kansas where D is the pastor of Southwest Baptist Church.

The Daily Devotional Series - Kristi Burchfiel
Introduction
What is The Daily Devotional Series?
The Daily Devotional Series was born from my own personal devotions. As part of my daily time with God, I wanted to be able to read and study a whole book of the Bible at a time to gain background and overall themes. However, I also wanted to be able to focus on one specific thought or idea that I could hold on to and apply for the whole day.
Ultimately, I decided to take one book of the Bible, read through one chapter a day, and then focus on a truth from one verse in that chapter. This allows me to balance the consistency of going through a whole book in a reasonable amount of time with the specific focus I need for that particular day.
These devotions are not designed to be an in-depth study of a particular verse, chapter, or book. They are intentionally designed to be brief. Because of this, readers won’t get bogged down in lots of theology. Instead, I encourage the reader to take the time to really focus on application in his or her personal life. The Bible is living and active and applicable in our daily lives and we would do well to integrate its truths into our life.
How do I use The Daily Devotional Series?
If you have the time, I encourage you to take the time to read through the entire chapter for each day so you can get the full story and background information that is presented in the chapter. However, realize that is not necessary to be able to follow and
