  • Day 2089 – The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 18 – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Day 2089 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
    This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
    The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 18 – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2089 of our trek. Establishing good habits is imperative for living a Godly life and one habit I have practiced nearly every day for the past 45+ years of my adult life is to read the chapter in the book of Proverbs that corresponds to the day of the month. This single habit has been the catalyst for gaining wisdom and creating a living legacy.
    Adopting this habit can do the same for your life. The realization that God’s Wisdom is the only true wisdom drives me to seek God’s wisdom each day, and there is no better way to do this than to meditate on God’s book of Wisdom.
    Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today I will read Proverbs 18.
    The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 18
    1Unfriendly people care only about themselves;
    they lash out at common sense.
    2 Fools have no interest in understanding;
    they only want to air their own opinions.
    3 Doing wrong leads to disgrace,
    and scandalous behavior brings contempt.
    4 Wise words are like deep waters;
    wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.
    5 It is not right to acquit the guilty
    or deny justice to the innocent.
    6 Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels;
    they are asking for a beating.
    7 The mouths of fools are their ruin;
    they trap themselves with their lips.
    8 Rumors are dainty morsels
    that sink deep into one’s heart.
    9 A lazy person is as bad as
    someone who destroys things.
    10 The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
    the godly run to him and are safe.
    11 The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
    they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.
    12 Haughtiness goes before destruction;
    humility precedes honor.
    13 Spouting off before listening to the facts
    is both shameful and foolish.
    14 The human spirit can endure a sick body,
    but who can bear a crushed spirit?
    15 Intelligent people are always ready to learn.
    Their ears are open for knowledge.
    16 Giving a gift can open doors;
    it gives access to important people!
    17 The first to speak in court sounds right—
    until the cross-examination begins.
    18 Flipping a coin can end arguments;
    it settles disputes between powerful opponents.
    19 An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city.
    Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.
    20 Wise words satisfy like a good meal;
    the right words bring satisfaction.
    21 The tongue can bring death or life;
    those who love to talk will reap the consequences.
    22 The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,
    and he receives favor from the Lord.
    23 The poor plead for mercy;
    the rich answer with insults.
    24 There are “friends” who destroy each other,
    but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
    Today, as you ponder Proverbs 18, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
    Thank you so much for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and, most importantly, your friend as I serve you through this Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal.
    As we take this trek together, let us always:
    1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
    2. Love Unconditionally
    3. Listen Intentionally
    4. Learn Continuously
    5. Lend to others Generously

      Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today I will read Proverbs 17.
      The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 17
      1Better a dry crust eaten in peace than a house filled with feasting—and conflict.
      2 A wise servant will rule over the master’s disgraceful son
      and will share the inheritance of the master’s children.
      3 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,
      but the Lord tests the heart.
      4 Wrongdoers eagerly listen to gossip;
      liars pay close attention to slander.
      5 Those who mock the poor insult their Maker;
      those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished.
      6 Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
      parents[a] are the pride of their children.
      7 Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool;
      even less are lies fitting for a ruler.
      8 A bribe is like a lucky charm;
      whoever gives one will prosper!
      9 Love prospers when a fault is forgiven,
      but dwelling on it separates close friends.
      10 A single rebuke does more for a person of understanding
      than a hundred lashes on the back of a fool.
      11 Evil people are eager for rebellion,
      but they will be severely punished.
      12 It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
      than to confront a fool caught in foolishness.
      13 If you repay good with evil,
      evil will never leave your house.
      14 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate,
      so stop before a dispute breaks out.
      15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—
      both are detestable to the Lord.
      16 It is senseless to pay to educate a fool,
      since he has no heart for learning.
      17 A friend is always loyal,
      and a brother is born to help in time of need.
      18 It’s poor judgment to guarantee another person’s debt
      or put up security for a friend.
      19 Anyone who loves to quarrel loves sin;
      anyone who trusts in high walls invites disaster.
      20 The crooked heart will not prosper;
      the lying tongue tumbles into trouble.
      21 It is painful to be the parent of a fool;
      there is no joy for the father of a rebel.
      22 A cheerful heart is good medicine,
      but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
      23 The wicked take secret bribes
      to pervert the course of justice.
      24 Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom,
      but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
      25 Foolish children[b] bring grief to their father
      and bitterness to the one who gave them birth.
      26 It is wrong to punish the godly for being good
      or to flog leaders for being honest.
      27 A truly wise person uses few words;
      a person with understanding is even-tempered.
      28 Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
      with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.

        The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 16
        1We can make our own plans,
        but the Lord gives the right answer.
        2 People may be pure in their own eyes,
        but the Lord examines their motives.
        3 Commit your actions to the Lord,
        and your plans will succeed.
        4 The Lord has made everything for his own purposes,
        even the wicked for a day of disaster.
        5 The Lord detests the proud;
        they will surely be punished.
        6 Unfailing love and faithfulness make atonement for sin.
        By fearing the Lord, people avoid evil.
        7 When people’s lives please the Lord,
        even their enemies are at peace with them.
        8 Better to have little, with godliness,
        than to be rich and dishonest.
        9 We can make our plans,
        but the Lord determines our steps.
        10 The king speaks with divine wisdom;
        he must never judge unfairly.
        11 The Lord demands accurate scales and balances;
        he sets the standards for fairness.
        12 A king detests wrongdoing,
        for his rule is built on justice.
        13 The king is pleased with words from righteous lips;
        he loves those who speak honestly.
        14 The anger of the king is a deadly threat;
        the wise will try to appease it.
        15 When the king smiles, there is life;
        his favor refreshes like a spring rain.
        16 How much better to get wisdom than gold,
        and good judgment than silver!
        17 The path of the virtuous leads away from evil;
        whoever follows that path is safe.
        18 Pride goes before destruction,
        and haughtiness before a fall.
        19 Better to live humbly with the poor
        than to share plunder with the proud.
        20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
        those who trust the Lord will be joyful.
        21 The wise are known for their understanding,
        and pleasant words are persuasive.
        22 Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it, but discipline is wasted on fools.
        23 From a wise mind comes wise speech;
        the words of the wise are persuasive.
        24 Kind words are like honey—
        sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
        25 There is a path before each person that seems right,
        but it ends in death.
        26 It is good for workers to have an appetite;
        an empty stomach drives them on.
        27 Scoundrels create trouble;
        their words are a destructive blaze.
        28 A troublemaker plants seeds of strife;
        gossip separates the best of friends.
        29 Violent people mislead their companions,
        leading them down a harmful path.
        30 With narrowed eyes, people plot evil;
        with a smirk, they plan their mischief.
        31 Gray hair is a crown of glory;
        it is gained by living a godly life.
        32 Better to be patient than powerful;
        better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
        33 We may throw the dice,
        but the Lord determines how they fall.

          The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 15
          1A gentle answer deflects anger,
          but harsh words make tempers flare.
          2 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing,
          but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness.
          3 The Lord is watching everywhere,
          keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.
          4 Gentle words are a tree of life;
          a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
          5 Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;
          whoever learns from correction is wise.
          6 There is treasure in the house of the godly,
          but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble.
          7 The lips of the wise give good advice;
          the heart of a fool has none to give.
          8 The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked,
          but he delights in the prayers of the upright.
          9 The Lord detests the way of the wicked,
          but he loves those who pursue godliness.
          10 Whoever abandons the right path will be severely disciplined;
          whoever hates correction will die.
          11 Even Death and Destruction hold no secrets from the Lord. How much more does he know the human heart!
          12 Mockers hate to be corrected,
          so they stay away from the wise.
          13 A glad heart makes a happy face;
          a broken heart crushes the spirit.
          14 A wise person is hungry for knowledge,
          while the fool feeds on trash.
          15 For the despondent, every day brings trouble;
          for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.
          16 Better to have little, with fear for the Lord,
          than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.
          17 A bowl of vegetables with someone you love
          is better than steak with someone you hate....

          The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 14
          1A wise woman builds her home,
          but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
          2 Those who follow the right path fear the Lord;
          those who take the wrong path despise him.
          3 A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him,
          but the words of the wise keep them safe.
          4 Without oxen a stable stays clean,
          but you need a strong ox for a large harvest.
          5 An honest witness does not lie;
          a false witness breathes lies.
          6 A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it,
          but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.
          7 Stay away from fools,
          for you won’t find knowledge on their lips.
          8 The prudent understand where they are going,
          but fools deceive themselves.
          9 Fools make fun of guilt,
          but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation.
          10 Each heart knows its own bitterness,
          and no one else can fully share its joy.
          11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
          but the tent of the godly will flourish.
          12 There is a path before each person that seems right,
          but it ends in death.
          13 Laughter can conceal a heavy heart,
          but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.
          14 Backsliders get what they deserve;
          good people receive their reward.
          15 Only simpletons believe everything they’re told!
          The prudent carefully consider their steps.
          16 The wise are cautious and avoid danger;
          fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.
          17 Short-tempered people do foolish things,
          and schemers are hated.

          The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 13
          1 A wise child accepts a parent’s discipline;
          a mocker refuses to listen to correction.
          2 Wise words will win you a good meal,
          but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
          3 Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
          opening your mouth can ruin everything.
          4 Lazy people want much but get little,
          but those who work hard will prosper.
          5 The godly hate lies;
          the wicked cause shame and disgrace.
          6 Godliness guards the path of the blameless,
          but the evil are misled by sin.
          7 Some who are poor pretend to be rich;
          others who are rich pretend to be poor.
          8 The rich can pay a ransom for their lives,
          but the poor won’t even get threatened.
          9 The life of the godly is full of light and joy,
          but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
          10 Pride leads to conflict;
          those who take advice are wise.
          11 Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;
          wealth from hard work grows over time.
          12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
          but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.
          13 People who despise advice are asking for trouble;
          those who respect a command will succeed.
          14 The instruction of the wise is like a life-giving fountain;
          those who accept it avoid the snares of death.
          15 A person with good sense is respected;
          a treacherous person is headed for destruction.[b]
          16 Wise people think before they act;
          fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness....

          Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2083 of our Trek. Establishing good habits is imperative for living a Godly life and one habit I have practiced nearly every day for the past 45+ years of my adult life is to read the chapter in the book of Proverbs that corresponds to the day of the month. This single habit has been the catalyst for gaining wisdom and creating a living legacy.
          Adopting this habit can do the same for your life. The realization that God’s Wisdom is the only true wisdom drives me to seek God’s wisdom each day, and there is no better way to do this than to meditate on God’s book of Wisdom.
          Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today I will read Proverbs 12.
          The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 12
          1 To learn, you must love discipline;
          it is stupid to hate correction.
          2 The Lord approves of those who are good,
          but he condemns those who plan wickedness.
          3 Wickedness never brings stability,
          but the godly have deep roots.
          4 A worthy wife is a crown for her husband,
          but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones.
          5 The plans of the godly are just;
          the advice of the wicked is treacherous.
          6 The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush,
          but the words of the godly save lives.
          7 The wicked die and disappear,
          but the family of the godly stands firm.
          8 A sensible person wins admiration,
          but a warped mind is despised.
          9 Better to be an ordinary person with a servant
          than to be self-important but have no food.
          10 The godly care for their animals,
          but the wicked are always cruel.
          11 A hard worker has plenty of food,
          but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.
          12 Thieves are jealous of each other’s loot,
          but the godly are well rooted and bear their own fruit.
          13 The wicked are trapped by their own words,
          but the godly escape such trouble.
          14 Wise words bring many benefits,
          and hard work brings rewards.
          15 Fools think their own way is right,
          but the wise listen to others.
          16 A fool is quick-tempered,
          but a wise person stays calm when insulted.
          17 An honest witness tells the truth;
          a false witness tells lies.
          18 Some people make cutting remarks,
          but the words of the wise bring healing.
          19 Truthful words stand the...

          The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 11
          1 The Lord detests the use of dishonest scales,
          but he delights in accurate weights.
          2 Pride leads to disgrace,
          but with humility comes wisdom.
          3 Honesty guides good people;
          dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
          4 Riches won’t help on the day of judgment,
          but right living can save you from death.
          5 The godly are directed by honesty;
          the wicked fall beneath their load of sin.
          6 The godliness of good people rescues them;
          the ambition of treacherous people traps them.
          7 When the wicked die, their hopes die with them,
          for they rely on their own feeble strength.
          8 The godly are rescued from trouble,
          and it falls on the wicked instead.
          9 With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
          but knowledge will rescue the righteous.
          10 The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed;
          they shout for joy when the wicked die.
          11 Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper,
          but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.
          12 It is foolish to belittle one’s neighbor;
          a sensible person keeps quiet.
          13 A gossip goes around telling secrets,
          but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
          14 Without wise leadership, a nation falls;
          there is safety in having many advisers.
          15 There’s danger in putting up security for a stranger’s debt;
          it’s safer not to guarantee another person’s debt.
          16 A gracious woman gains respect,
          but ruthless men gain only wealth.
          17 Your kindness will reward you,
          but your cruelty will destroy you.
          18 Evil people get rich for the moment,
          but the reward of the

          The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 10
          The Proverbs of Solomon
          1 The proverbs of Solomon:
          A wise child brings joy to a father;
          a foolish child brings grief to a mother.
          2 Tainted wealth has no lasting value,
          but right living can save your life.
          3 The Lord will not let the godly go hungry,
          but he refuses to satisfy the craving of the wicked.
          4 Lazy people are soon poor;
          hard workers get rich.
          5 A wise youth harvests in the summer,
          but one who sleeps during harvest is a disgrace.
          6 The godly are showered with blessings;
          the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.
          7 We have happy memories of the godly,
          but the name of a wicked person rots away.
          8 The wise are glad to be instructed,
          but babbling fools fall flat on their faces.
          9 People with integrity walk safely,
          but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.
          10 People who wink at wrong cause trouble,
          but a bold reproof promotes peace.
          11 The words of the godly are a life-giving fountain;
          the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions.
          12 Hatred stirs up quarrels,
          but love makes up for all offenses.
          13 Wise words come from the lips of people with understanding,
          but those lacking sense will be beaten with a rod.
          14 Wise people treasure knowledge,
          but the babbling of a fool invites disaster.
          15 The wealth of the rich is their fortress;
          the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
          16 The earnings of the godly enhance their lives,
          but evil people squander their money on...

          The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 9 – Daily Wisdom
          Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2080 of our Trek.

          Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today I will read Proverbs 9.
          The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 9
          Wisdom has built her house;
          she has carved its seven columns.
          2 She has prepared a great banquet,
          mixed the wines, and set the table.
          3 She has sent her servants to invite everyone to come.
          She calls out from the heights overlooking the city.
          4 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
          To those who lack good judgment, she says,
          5 “Come, eat my food,
          and drink the wine I have mixed.
          6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live;
          learn to use good judgment.”
          7 Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.
          Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
          8 So don’t bother correcting mockers;
          they will only hate you.
          But correct the wise,
          and they will love you.
          9 Instruct the wise,
          and they will be even wiser.
          Teach the righteous,
          and they will learn even more.
          10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
          Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
          11 Wisdom will multiply your days
          and add years to your life.
          12 If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
          If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
          Folly Calls for a Hearing
          13 The woman named Folly is brash.
          She is ignorant and doesn’t know it.
          14 She sits in her doorway
          on the heights overlooking the city.
          15 She calls out to men going by
          who are minding their own business.
          16 “Come in with me,” she urges the simple.
          To those who lack good judgment, she says,
          17 “Stolen water is refreshing;
          food eaten in secret tastes the best!”
          18 But little do they know that the dead are there.
          Her guests are in the depths of the grave.
