Welcome to Day 2202 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets \u2013 Proverbs 8:32-36\xa0\u2013 Daily Wisdom \xa0Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2202 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2202 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. \xa0 In today\u2019s Wisdom Nugget, I\u2019m excited to continue our journey through the book of Proverbs, where we uncover its timeless wisdom. Today, we\u2019re delving into Proverbs 8:32-36, as translated in the New Living Translation. So, lace up your hiking boots, and together, we\u2019ll explore the profound message of embracing wisdom\u2019s call in these verses. Pause\u2026 In Proverbs 8:32- 36, we discover the importance of heeding wisdom\u2019s call and its profound benefits to our lives. These verses offer a clear path to a life of purpose and fulfillment. Verse 32: \u201cAnd so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful.\u201d This verse begins with a loving and inviting call from Wisdom. She addresses us as her children, emphasizing the familial and intimate relationship we can have with wisdom. She promises that all who follow her ways will find joy. Pause\u2026 Verse 33: \u201cListen to my instruction and be wise. Don\u2019t ignore it.\u201d Wisdom urges us to listen to her instruction and become wise. The key here is active listening and a commitment to applying wisdom\u2019s guidance in our lives. Ignoring wisdom\u2019s counsel would be to our detriment. Pause\u2026 Verse 34: \u201cJoyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home!\u201d Here, Wisdom paints a picture of those who eagerly seek her. They find joy in listening to her, watching for her daily, and waiting outside her home. This imagery illustrates the dedication and anticipation with which we should approach wisdom. Pause\u2026 Verse 35-36: \u201cFor whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But those who miss me injure themselves. All who hate me love death.\u201d These final verses contain a stark contrast. Finding wisdom leads to life and favor from the Lord, while missing wisdom results in self-inflicted harm. The strong statement that \u201call who hate me love death\u201d emphasizes the gravity of neglecting wisdom\u2019s call. Pause\u2026 As we reflect on Proverbs 8:32-36, we must recognize that wisdom is not a passive concept; it\u2019s an active pursuit that requires our attention and dedication. Pause\u2026 Take a moment to consider these questions: How can you actively listen to and follow the ways of wisdom in your life? What steps can you take to make wisdom a daily presence in your journey? Remember, wisdom is not just a concept to be understood; it\u2019s a path to be walked. Pause\u2026 Let\u2019s summarize the key takeaways from Proverbs 8:32-36:
