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 have you join me again as we embark on a journey through the eternal wisdom of the Bible. Today, we’re diving into Proverbs 14:22-28 from the New Living Translation. These verses provide profound insights for living a life that aligns with the principles of the Bible. So, lace up your hiking boots as we delve into the wisdom of Proverbs. VERSE 22: “If you plan to do evil, you will be lost; if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness.” This verse underscores the power of our intentions. It teaches us that evil intentions lead to destruction, while good intentions are rewarded with love and faithfulness. So, what’s the solution to this? Choose Good Intentions: Make a conscious decision to plan and act with good intentions. Your heart’s posture matters, and it has a profound impact on your life’s outcomes. Verse 23 is a gem, let’s explore it. VERSE 23: “Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty.” This verse is a timeless reminder of the value of hard work. It tells us that actions, not just words, lead to prosperity, while empty talk results in poverty. What’s the key takeaway here? Embrace Diligence: Put your words into action. Hard work and determination are the stepping stones to success. Talking about your goals is not enough; you must actively pursue them. Verse 24 has a significant message, too. VERSE 24: “The wealth of the wise is their crown, but the foolishness of fools yields folly.” This verse underscores the value of wisdom.

Your words have the power to make a positive impact and save lives. Be a beacon of honesty and integrity. Now, verse 26 offers a thought-provoking perspective. VERSE 26: “Those who fear the Lord are secure; he will be a refuge for their children.” This verse speaks to the security found in a deep reverence for God.
