Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2067
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2067 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 27.
The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 27
27\xa0Don\u2019t brag about tomorrow,
since you don\u2019t know what the day will bring.
2\xa0Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth\u2014
a stranger, not your own lips.
3\xa0A stone is heavy and sand is weighty,
but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier.
4\xa0Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood,
but jealousy is even more dangerous.
5\xa0An open rebuke
is better than hidden love!
6\xa0Wounds from a sincere friend
are better than many kisses from an enemy.
7\xa0A person who is full refuses honey,
but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry.
8\xa0A person who strays from home
is like a bird that strays from its nest.
9\xa0The heartfelt counsel of a friend
is as sweet as perfume and incense.
10\xa0Never abandon a friend\u2014
either yours or your father\u2019s.
When disaster strikes, you won\u2019t have to ask your brother for assistance.
It\u2019s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.
11\xa0Be wise, my child,[a]\xa0and make my heart glad.
Then I will be able to answer my critics.
12\xa0A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
13\xa0Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger\u2019s debt.
Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.[b]
