Blog Entry 125 of 214 The Daily Devo
My thoughts based upon each day's One Year Bible reading selection.

A Source For Potency
Contributed by: Steve Jones   on 7/5/2008

From the Proverb portion of today's One Year Bible reading:

Proverbs 18:15
Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge.

This is my proof-text for audio-books. They're available in the public library for free...all genres including history, biography, sports, religion, business, self-improvement,etc.

I spent three hours the other day doing mindless chores...cleaning out the fish pond, working in the yard, washing the car. And I also spent that three hours reading (listening to) a book. In his book "Love is the Killer App", Yahoo Chief Solutions Officer Tim Sanders states: " Reading is a source of potency, so manage it like an asset."

Many of you are voracious readers, easily putting me to shame. Kudos to you. But some haven't cracked a book in years and as a result are "standing still" intellectually while others are passing you by. Don't let that happen. I am an exceptionally slow reader...but using audio books I can easily manage to "read" a book a week, often more.

I know, I know, audio-books aren't for everyone. Fine.Then what ARE you doing to grow intellectually?

I pray that today, your " ears are open for knowledge." Please pray that for me.
