Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2053
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2053 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 13.
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 13
\xa013\xa01 A wise child accepts a parent\u2019s discipline;[a]
a mocker refuses to listen to correction.
2\xa0Wise words will win you a good meal,
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
3\xa0Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
opening your mouth can ruin everything.
4\xa0Lazy people want much but get little,
but those who work hard will prosper.
5\xa0The godly hate lies;
the wicked cause shame and disgrace.
6\xa0Godliness guards the path of the blameless,
but the evil are misled by sin.
7\xa0Some who are poor pretend to be rich;
others who are rich pretend to be poor.
8\xa0The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,
but the poor won\u2019t even get threatened.
9\xa0The life of the godly is full of light and joy,
but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
10\xa0Pride leads to conflict;
those who take advice are wise.
11\xa0Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;
wealth from hard work grows over time.
12\xa0Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
13\xa0People who despise advice are asking for trouble;
those who respect a command will succeed.
14\xa0The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;
those who accept it avoid the snares of death.
15\xa0A person with good sense is respected;
a treacherous person is headed for destruction.[
