Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2080
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2080 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 9.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 9
Wisdom has built her house;
she has carved its seven columns.
2\xa0She has prepared a great banquet,
mixed the wines, and set the table.
3\xa0She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come.
She calls out from the heights overlooking the city.
4\xa0\u201cCome in with me,\u201d she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
5\xa0\u201cCome, eat my food,
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6\xa0Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live;
learn to use good judgment.\u201d
7\xa0Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
8\xa0So don\u2019t bother correcting mockers;
they will only hate you.
But correct the wise,
and they will love you.
9\xa0Instruct the wise,
and they will be even wiser.
Teach the righteous,
and they will learn even more.
10\xa0Fear of the\xa0Lord\xa0is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
11\xa0Wisdom will multiply your days
and add years to your life.
12\xa0If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Folly Calls for a Hearing
13\xa0The woman named Folly is brash.
She is ignorant and doesn\u2019t know it.
14\xa0She sits in her doorway
on the heights overlooking the city.
15\xa0She calls out to men going by
who are minding their own business.
16\xa0\u201cCome in with me,\u201d she urges the simple.
To those who lack good judgment, she says,
17\xa0\u201cStolen water is refreshing;
food eaten in secret tastes the best!\u201d
18\xa0But little do they know that the dead are there.
Her guests are in the depths of the grave.[a]
