Welcome to Day 2173 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.\nThis is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom\nWisdom Nuggets \u2013 Proverbs 3:11-20\xa0\u2013 Daily Wisdom\nWisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2173\n\nWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2173 of our trek. The purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.\n\nIn today\u2019s Wisdom Nugget, we explore the wisdom of the ages in the Book of Proverbs. We are diving into Proverbs 3:11-20 from the New Living Translation. This passage offers valuable insights into the rewards of embracing wisdom and trusting in the Lord. So, let\u2019s embark on this quest for wisdom together!\n\nOur trek begins with verses 11 and 12, reminding us that the Lord\u2019s discipline is essential to our growth. Let\u2019s read the verses together:\n\nProverbs 3:11-12\n\nMy child, don\u2019t reject the\xa0Lord\u2019s discipline,\nand don\u2019t be upset when he corrects you.\nFor the\xa0Lord\xa0corrects those he loves,\njust as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.\n\nIt might not always be pleasant, but just as a loving parent disciplines their child for their benefit, our Heavenly Father disciplines us out of love. These verses encourage us to embrace this discipline, knowing it\u2019s for our good.\n\nMoving forward, we encounter a beautiful passage that extols the value of wisdom. Verses 13 to 18 capture the incomparable worth of wisdom:\n\nProverbs 3:13-18\n\nJoyful is the person who finds wisdom,\nthe one who gains understanding.\nFor wisdom is more profitable than silver,\nand her wages are better than gold.\nWisdom is more precious than rubies;\nnothing you desire can compare with her.\nShe offers you long life in her right hand,\nand riches and honor in her left.\n\xa0She will guide you down delightful paths;\nall her ways are satisfying.\nWisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;\nhappy are those who hold her tightly.\n\nDid you catch that? Wisdom is more precious than silver, gold, or even rubies! It brings us understanding, happiness, and a fulfilled life. As we seek wisdom, we draw closer to God\u2019s heart and align ourselves with His divine plan.\n\nOur journey through these verses brings us to a captivating image \u2013 the Tree of Life. Let\u2019s read verses 19 and 20:\n\nProverbs 3:19-20\n\nBy wisdom the\xa0Lord\xa0founded the earth;\nby understanding he created the heavens.\nBy his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,\nand the dew settles beneath the night sky.\n\nThe Tree of Life, a symbol of God\u2019s provision and sustenance, takes us back to the Garden of Eden. Through wisdom, God laid the earth\u2019s foundations and established the heavens. It\u2019s a reminder of His creative power and ongoing involvement in the world around us.\n\nAs we conclude our trek through Proverbs 3:11-20, let\u2019s reflect on how these verses apply to our daily lives.\n\nFirst, we should embrace the Lord\u2019s discipline with humility, recognizing that it molds us into better versions of ourselves. Let\u2019s view it as a pathway to growth and transformation.\n\nSecond, let\u2019s seek wisdom above all else. Let\u2019s commit to continually learning and growing in...
