Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2077

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2077 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.\xa0 Today I will read Proverbs 6.

Lessons for Daily Life

6\xa0My child,[a]\xa0if you have put up security for a friend\u2019s debt
or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger\u2014
2\xa0if you have trapped yourself by your agreement
and are caught by what you said\u2014
3\xa0follow my advice and save yourself,
for you have placed yourself at your friend\u2019s mercy.
Now swallow your pride;
go and beg to have your name erased.
4\xa0Don\u2019t put it off; do it now!
Don\u2019t rest until you do.
5\xa0Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,
like a bird fleeing from a net.

6\xa0Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones.
Learn from their ways and become wise!
7\xa0Though they have no prince
or governor or ruler to make them work,
8\xa0they labor hard all summer,
gathering food for the winter.
9\xa0But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep?
When will you wake up?
10\xa0A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest\u2014
11\xa0then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

12\xa0What are worthless and wicked people like?
They are constant liars,
13\xa0signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,
a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.
14\xa0Their perverted hearts plot evil,
and they constantly stir up trouble.
15\xa0But they will be destroyed suddenly,
broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.

16\xa0There are six things the\xa0Lord\xa0hates\u2014
no, seven things he detests:
17\xa0haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent,
18\xa0a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,
19\xa0a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family.

20\xa0My son, obey your father\u2019s commands,
and don\u2019t neglect your mother\u2019s instruction.
21\xa0Keep their words always in your heart.
Tie them
