Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2078
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2078 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 7.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 7
Another Warning about Immoral Women
7\xa0Follow my advice, my son;
always treasure my commands.
2\xa0Obey my commands and live!
Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.[a]
3\xa0Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.
Write them deep within your heart.
4\xa0Love wisdom like a sister;
make insight a beloved member of your family.
5\xa0Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman,
from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.
6\xa0While I was at the window of my house,
looking through the curtain,
7\xa0I saw some naive young men,
and one in particular who lacked common sense.
8\xa0He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,
strolling down the path by her house.
9\xa0It was at twilight, in the evening,
as deep darkness fell.
10\xa0The woman approached him,
seductively dressed and sly of heart.
11\xa0She was the brash, rebellious type,
never content to stay at home.
12\xa0She is often in the streets and markets,
soliciting at every corner.
13\xa0She threw her arms around him and kissed him,
and with a brazen look she said,
14\xa0\u201cI\u2019ve just made my peace offerings
and fulfilled my vows.
15\xa0You\u2019re the one I was looking for!
I came out to find you, and here you are!
16\xa0My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,
with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
17\xa0I\u2019ve perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18\xa0Come, let\u2019s drink our fill of love until morning.
Let\u2019s enjoy each other\u2019s caresses,
19\xa0for my husband is not home.
He\u2019s away on a long trip.
20\xa0He has taken a wallet full of money with him
and won\u2019t return until later this month.[b]\u201d
21\xa0So she...
