Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2063
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2063 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 23.
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 23
23\xa0While dining with a ruler,
pay attention to what is put before you.
2\xa0If you are a big eater,
put a knife to your throat;
3\xa0don\u2019t desire all the delicacies,
for he might be trying to trick you.
4\xa0Don\u2019t wear yourself out trying to get rich.
Be wise enough to know when to quit.
5\xa0In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,
for it will sprout wings
and fly away like an eagle.
6\xa0Don\u2019t eat with people who are stingy;
don\u2019t desire their delicacies.
7\xa0They are always thinking about how much it costs.[a]
\u201cEat and drink,\u201d they say, but they don\u2019t mean it.
8\xa0You will throw up what little you\u2019ve eaten,
and your compliments will be wasted.
9\xa0Don\u2019t waste your breath on fools,
for they will despise the wisest advice.
10\xa0Don\u2019t cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers;
don\u2019t take the land of defenseless orphans.
11\xa0For their Redeemer[b]\xa0is strong;
he himself will bring their charges against you.
12\xa0Commit yourself to instruction;
listen carefully to words of knowledge.
13\xa0Don\u2019t fail to discipline your children.
The rod of punishment won\u2019t kill them.
14\xa0Physical discipline
may well save them from death.[c]
15\xa0My child,[
