I was thinking the exact same thing. Book of John and Proverbs. I am actually studying John right now. Proverbs 3 is perfect for a young man.
Thanks for the encouragement.
In the first years of changing my mindset from that of the world-view to that of the culture of Bible-believing Christ-followers, each day I read the chapter of Proverbs corresponding to the day of the month, and five chapters of Psalms starting with the day of the month as well as the four found by adding multiples of thirty to it. For instance, today is December 2, so the Psalms would be 2, 32, 62, 92, and 122.
The idea was to read these wisdom books according to the thoughts of Proverbs 8:5 and 9:10 (Proverbs has 53 verses that contain the word "wisdom" and 53 with "understanding"). That covers those two books 12 times each year.
My daily Bible reading pattern is a bit different now, but it was a good way to begin 45 years of walking with the Lord. Wisdom is a deep, deep well, brought to perfection when understanding takes place.
One of my sons has done likewise, and it is his family of 10 children that stand firmest in the Lord.
