Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2057

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2057 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 17.
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 17
\\xa017\\xa0Better a dry crust eaten in peace
than a house filled with feasting\\u2014and conflict.

2\\xa0A wise servant will rule over the master\\u2019s disgraceful son
and will share the inheritance of the master\\u2019s children.

3\\xa0Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
but the\\xa0Lord\\xa0tests the heart.

4\\xa0Wrongdoers eagerly listen to gossip;
liars pay close attention to slander.

5\\xa0Those who mock the poor insult their Maker;
those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished.

6\\xa0Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
parents[a]\\xa0are the pride of their children.

7\\xa0Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool;
even less are lies fitting for a ruler.

8\\xa0A bribe is like a lucky charm;
whoever gives one will prosper!

9\\xa0Love prospers when a fault is forgiven,
but dwelling on it separates close friends.

10\\xa0A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding
than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.

11\\xa0Evil people are eager for rebellion,
but they will be severely punished.

12\\xa0It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
than to confront a fool caught in foolishness.

13\\xa0If you repay good with evil,
evil will never leave your house.

14\\xa0Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,
so stop before a dispute breaks out.

15\\xa0Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent\\u2014
both are detestable to the\\xa0Lord....'
