b'Welcome to Day 2010 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 1 \\u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, but my grandkids call me Gramps. We are on Day 2010 of our Trek. One habit I have practiced nearly every day for the past 45+ years of my adult life is to read the chapter in the book of Proverbs that corresponds to the day of the month. This single habit has been the catalyst for gaining wisdom and creating a living legacy. Adopting this habit can do the same for your life. The realization that God\\u2019s Wisdom is the only true wisdom drives me to seek God\\u2019s wisdom each day, and there is no better way to do this than to meditate on God\\u2019s book of Wisdom. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today I will read Proverbs 1.


The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 1
1 These are the proverbs of Solomon, David\\u2019s son, king of Israel.

2 Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline,
to help them understand the insights of the wise.
3 Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives,
to help them do what is right, just, and fair.
4 These proverbs will give insight to the simple,
knowledge and discernment to the young.

5 Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser.
Let those with understanding receive guidance
6 by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables,
the words of the wise and their riddles.

7 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

A Father\\u2019s Exhortation: Acquire Wisdom



8 My child,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%201andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-16385a (a)] listen when your father corrects you.
Don\\u2019t neglect your mother\\u2019s instruction.
9 What you learn from them will crown you with grace
and be a chain of honor around your neck.

10 My child, if sinners entice you,
turn your back on them!
11 They may say, \\u201cCome and join us.
Let\\u2019s hide and kill someone!
Just for fun, let\\u2019s ambush the innocent!
12 Let\\u2019s swallow them alive, like the grave[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%201andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-16389b (b)];
let\\u2019s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.
13 Think of the great things we\\u2019ll get!
We\\u2019ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.
14 Come, throw in your lot with us;
we\\u2019ll all share the loot.\\u201d

15 My child, don\\u2019t go along with them!
Stay far away from their paths.
16 They rush to commit evil deeds.
They hurry to commit murder.
17 If a bird sees a trap being set,
it knows to stay away.
18 But these people set an ambush for themselves;
they are trying to get themselves killed.
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money;
it robs them of life.

Wisdom Shouts in the Streets



20 Wisdom shouts in the streets.
She cries out in the public square.
21 She calls to the crowds along the main street,
to those gathered in front of the city gate:
22 \\u201cHow long, you simpletons,
will you insist on being simpleminded?
How long will you mockers relish your mocking?
How long will you fools hate knowledge?
23 Come and listen to my counsel.
I\\u2019ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.

24 \\u201cI called you so often, but you wouldn\\u2019t come.
I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.
25 You ignored my advice
and rejected the correction I offered.
26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble!
I will mock you when disaster overtakes you\\u2014
27 when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster engulfs you like a cyclone,
and anguish and distress overwhelm you.

28 \\u201cWhen they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
29 For they hated...'
