Welcome to Day 2212 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 10:17-24 – Daily Wisdom  Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2212 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2212 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.   In today’s Wisdom Nugget, I’m thrilled to continue our journey through the book of Proverbs, where we unearth its timeless wisdom. Today, we’re delving into Proverbs 10:17-24 from the New Living Translation. So, let’s lace up our hiking boots as we explore the path of wisdom in these verses.
