Welcome back to Build Your Bible Habit, where listening to a chapter of Proverbs helps you to develop the habit of daily Bible reading. To build a Bible habit, simply begin and keep it up. Over time, Bible reading leads to Bible study, and God does the rest. With an audio Bible, you only need to press "play" and listen. Simple.

Soon, your life is improved by increased wisdom and understanding. A trouble-free life was never promised by God, but instead He give us the "peace of God that passeth understanding" when we learn how to keep our hearts and minds on Him.

Here's a great reminder verse from this chapter:

"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." (Proverbs 27:17)

You will become spiritually sharpened as you Build Your Bible Habit. God will transform you by the renewing of your mind, and you will be the kind of friend that "sharpens" others with godly wisdom.

Welcome to BAM: Your Bible Application Moment. Today's application comes from Proverbs 23:9, which tells us what not to do:

"Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words." (Proverbs 23:9)

So why do we disobey this scripture so often and so boldly? Did you know that when we're disregarding scripture while trying to correct someone else, we will be totally ineffective because of our own disobedience?

"Speak not" means "don't speak." So don't.

Welcome to Replay Thursday, where we play the most popular episodes from the previous season.

Have you ever almost side-swiped a car because they were in your blind spot? We often "side swipe" people in our daily lives for the same reason: they were in our blind spot.

When new cars added the Blind Spot Warning System to vehicles, it really helped drivers to know when someone was in that zone. The system detects vehicles in the blind spot and notifies the driver of their presence, often with a light in the sideview mirror and an audible warning ping.

It's great that there's a warning system to help us avoid car crashes. Too bad there’s not a Blind Spot Warning System to keep us from human clashes.

This episode covers three common blind spots, and what we can do to avoid side-swiping other people in our lives.
