Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2051
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2051 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 11.
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 11
\xa011\xa01 The\xa0Lord\xa0detests the use of dishonest scales,
but he delights in accurate weights.
2\xa0Pride leads to disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
3\xa0Honesty guides good people;
dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
4\xa0Riches won\u2019t help on the day of judgment,
but right living can save you from death.
5\xa0The godly are directed by honesty;
the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.
6\xa0The godliness of good people rescues them;
the ambition of treacherous people traps them.
7\xa0When the wicked die, their hopes die with them,
for they rely on their own feeble strength.
8\xa0The godly are rescued from trouble,
and it falls on the wicked instead.
9\xa0With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
but knowledge will rescue the righteous.
10\xa0The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed;
they shout for joy when the wicked die.
11\xa0Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper,
but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.
12\xa0It is foolish to belittle one\u2019s neighbor;
a sensible person keeps quiet.
13\xa0A gossip goes around telling secrets,
but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
14\xa0Without wise leadership, a nation falls;
there is safety in having many advisers.
15\xa0There\u2019s danger in putting up security for a stranger\u2019s debt;
it\u2019s safer not to guarantee another person\u2019s debt.
16\xa0A gracious woman gains respect,
but ruthless men gain only wealth.
