Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 200 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Proverbs 6:30-35 Lessons for Daily Life
Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 200 of our Trek and for one final day, we will stay at camp digging for nuggets of wisdom as we continue our exploration into the book of Proverbs Chapter 6. Yesterday we explored verses 20-29, and today we will dig into verses 30-35. If you miss any days of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.

We are recording our podcast from our studio at ‘Home2’ in Charlotte, NC.  There has been a lot of work and activities this week, but we continue on each day accomplishing all that we can.



 

If our plans do not change, Paula and I plan to head to Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, NC on Saturday for our annual Christmas visit.  Biltmore is America’s largest home and with its 250 rooms is magnificent to visit any time of the year, but when it is decorated for Christmas, it is a site to behold.  We do look forward to these short excursions that we are able to take, even with a busy schedule.  As I continually try to learn to be a good and wise husband, I am still learning the importance of these times away from our work, to spend with each other.



 

We will remain at camp for another day as we finish up Proverbs chapter 6 digging deep for additional nuggets of wisdom that we can digest.  As we accumulate this wisdom, it helps us to create that living legacy each day so we can impact our world throughout eternity.  Never underestimate the value that you bring into the world with just a single act of kindness.



 

To use an analogy for our life, gathering together with like-minded people around a campfire is always a reflective time.  A time to share stories, to laugh, and to enjoy each other’s company.  As I reflect back over this past year, we have been able to accomplish a significant amount by God’s grace and also your support.   Today’s our Wisdom-Trek passes the 200th day of our trek.  The time really has rushed by.  I want to thank you for being on this trek of life with me over these 200 days.  I have really enjoyed being your guide, your mentor, but most importantly your friend.  Please leave a comment at Wisdom-Trek.com or email me at guthrie@venturecg.com and let me know how our days together has impacted your life.  Also, let me know how I can improve so the next 200 days bring an even greater impact… thank you in advance.



For today, let’s get started and dig for more nuggets of wisdom as we explore Proverbs Chapter 6:30:35 – this chapter in Proverbs is referred to as:
Lessons for Daily Life
Today I will read the entire passage and then we will break it down into small segments as we dive deeper into our exploration:

30 Excuses might be found for a thief
who steals because he is starving.
31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
even if he has to sell everything in his house.
32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool,
for he destroys himself.
33 He will be wounded and disgraced.
His shame will never be erased.
34 For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious,
and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35 He will accept no compensation,
nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.

So now let’s do a deep dive into the verses:

30 Excuses might be found for a thief
who steals because he is starving.
31 But if he is caught,
