Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2059

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2059 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 19.
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 19
19\xa0Better to be poor and honest
than to be dishonest and a fool.

2\xa0Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good;
haste makes mistakes.

3\xa0People ruin their lives by their own foolishness
and then are angry at the\xa0Lord.

4\xa0Wealth makes many \u201cfriends\u201d;
poverty drives them all away.

5\xa0A false witness will not go unpunished,
nor will a liar escape.

6\xa0Many seek favors from a ruler;
everyone is the friend of a person who gives gifts!

7\xa0The relatives of the poor despise them;
how much more will their friends avoid them!
Though the poor plead with them,
their friends are gone.

8\xa0To acquire wisdom is to love yourself;
people who cherish understanding will prosper.

9\xa0A false witness will not go unpunished,
and a liar will be destroyed.

10\xa0It isn\u2019t right for a fool to live in luxury
or for a slave to rule over princes!

11\xa0Sensible people control their temper;
they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

12\xa0The king\u2019s anger is like a lion\u2019s roar,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13\xa0A foolish child[a]\xa0is a calamity to a father;
a quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping.

14\xa0Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth,
but only the\xa0Lord\xa0can give an understanding wife.

15\xa0Lazy people sleep soundly,
but idleness leaves them hungry.
