Stepping through the Psalms and Proverbs is designed to be a daily devotional and a word for the day. The author has selected his favorite passages for the commentary that are familiar and encouraging. The format is a scripture passage followed by a Holy Spirit inspired commentary. The authors of the Psalms and Proverbs were positive and encouraging. I have attempted to emphasize this throughout. The book is not a scholarly work with footnotes and references but rather an inspired one. Each day, I would read a passage and then wait for the Holy Spirit to direct my commentary. That is my method for Bible study. My purpose in writing this book is to encourage you in your walk with the Lord, hence, the reference to stepping. It is a spiritual exercise that is simple and profound. I hope and pray you will be lifted up by stepping through the Psalms and Proverbs with me. I continue to be amazed how the Holy Spirit uses scripture verses to build us up.
