Welcome to Day 2033 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2033

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2033 of our Trek. Establishing good habits is imperative for living a Godly life and 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 24.
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 24
24 Don\u2019t envy evil people
or desire their company.
2 For their hearts plot violence,
and their words always stir up trouble.

3 A house is built by wisdom
and becomes strong through good sense.
4 Through knowledge its rooms are filled
with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.

5 The wise are mightier than the strong,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2024andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17061a (a)]
and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.
6 So don\u2019t go to war without wise guidance;
victory depends on having many advisers.

7 Wisdom is too lofty for fools.
Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.

8 A person who plans evil
will get a reputation as a troublemaker.
9 The schemes of a fool are sinful;
everyone detests a mocker.

10 If you fail under pressure,
your strength is too small.

11 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death.
12 Don\u2019t excuse yourself by saying, \u201cLook, we didn\u2019t know.\u201d
For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.
He who guards your soul knows you knew.
He will repay all people as their actions deserve.

13 My child,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2024andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17069b (b)] eat honey, for it is good,
and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste.
14 In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.
If you find it, you will have a bright future,
and your hopes will not be cut short.

15 Don\u2019t wait in ambush at the home of the godly,
and don\u2019t raid the house where the godly live.
16 The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.

17 Don\u2019t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don\u2019t be happy when they stumble.
18 For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.

19 Don\u2019t fret because of evildoers;
don\u2019t envy the wicked.
20 For evil people have no future;
the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.

21 My child, fear the Lord and the king.
Don\u2019t associate with rebels,
22 for disaster will hit them suddenly.
Who knows what punishment will come
from the Lord and the king?

More Sayings of the Wise



23 Here are some further sayings of the wise:

It is wrong to show favoritism when passing judgment.
24 A judge who says to the wicked, \u201cYou are innocent,\u201d
will be cursed by many people and denounced by the nations.
25 But it will go well for those who convict the guilty;
rich blessings will be showered on them.

26 An honest answer
is like a kiss of friendship.

27 Do your planning and prepare your fields
before building your house.

28 Don\u2019t testify against your neighbors without cause;
don\u2019t lie about them.
29 And don\u2019t say, \u201cNow I can pay them back for what they\u2019ve done to me!
I\u2019ll get even...
