Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2076

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2076 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.\xa0Today I will read Proverbs 5.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 5

Avoid Immoral Women

5\xa0My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
listen carefully to my wise counsel.
2\xa0Then you will show discernment,
and your lips will express what you\u2019ve learned.
3\xa0For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,
and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4\xa0But in the end she is as bitter as poison,
as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
5\xa0Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.[a]
6\xa0For she cares nothing about the path to life.
She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn\u2019t realize it.

7\xa0So now, my sons, listen to me.
Never stray from what I am about to say:
8\xa0Stay away from her!
Don\u2019t go near the door of her house!
9\xa0If you do, you will lose your honor
and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
10\xa0Strangers will consume your wealth,
and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
11\xa0In the end you will groan in anguish
when disease consumes your body.
12\xa0You will say, \u201cHow I hated discipline!
If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13\xa0Oh, why didn\u2019t I listen to my teachers?
Why didn\u2019t I pay attention to my instructors?
14\xa0I have come to the brink of utter ruin,
and now I must face public disgrace.\u201d

15\xa0Drink water from your own well\u2014
share your love only with your wife.[b]
16\xa0Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
having sex with just anyone?[c]
17\xa0You should reserve it for yourselves.
Never share it with strangers.

18\xa0Let your
