This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets \u2013 Proverbs\xa027:22-27\xa0Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2328 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2328 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 will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. Today, we\u2019ll delve into Proverbs 27:22-27 from the New Living Translation. In these verses, we\u2019ll uncover insights into the importance of diligence, neglect\u2019s consequences, and careful stewardship\u2019s benefits. So, let\u2019s not delay any further. Let\u2019s uncover the wisdom within Proverbs. Verse 22-23: \u201cYou cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle. Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds.\u201d These verses emphasize the importance of diligence and careful stewardship over one\u2019s possessions. How can we understand the importance of diligence and careful stewardship? Recognize the importance of diligence in every aspect of life, whether it be in your work, your relationships, or your stewardship of resources. Be diligent in attending to your responsibilities, knowing that neglect can lead to undesirable outcomes. Cultivate a spirit of excellence in all you do, putting your heart into caring for the things entrusted to your care. Just as a shepherd knows the state of his flock and cares for them diligently, so should you be attentive to the needs of those under your care. Practice diligence in your work and stewardship, knowing it is the key to success and prosperity.

Invest your resources wisely, knowing that they are entrusted to you by God and that you will be held accountable for how you use them. Practice generosity and wise stewardship, knowing that true riches are found in using your resources to bless others and advance God\u2019s kingdom. And finally, let\u2019s turn our attention to verses 26-27. \u201cYou can make clothing from the wool of your sheep and sell it for a profit. You can purchase a field with the earnings from your crops. You might plant the field with rows of olive trees and never stop to gather the fruit from them or even taste the olives, but they will be there for the buyer.\u201d These verses speak to the potential for profit and investment that comes from diligent stewardship.
