Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2089

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2089 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 18.

they trap themselves with their lips.

8\xa0Rumors are dainty morsels
that sink deep into one\u2019s heart.

9\xa0A lazy person is as bad as
someone who destroys things.

10\xa0The name of the\xa0Lord\xa0is a strong fortress;
the godly run to him and are safe.

11\xa0The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.

12\xa0Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor.

13\xa0Spouting off before listening to the facts
is both shameful and foolish.

14\xa0The human spirit can endure a sick body,
but who can bear a crushed spirit?

15\xa0Intelligent people are always ready to learn.
Their ears are open for knowledge.

16\xa0Giving a gift can open doors;
it gives access to important people!

17\xa0The first to speak in court sounds right\u2014
until the cross-examination begins.
