I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2213 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 delighted to continue our journey through the book of Proverbs, where we mine its timeless wisdom. Today, we’re venturing into Proverbs 10:25-32 from the New Living Translation. So, tighten your hiking boots, and let’s uncover the path of wisdom in these verses.
