  • Day 2021 – The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 12 – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Day 2021 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
    This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
    The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 12 – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2021 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...

    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2020 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 11.
    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.

    The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 10
    • The Proverbs of Solomon

      • 10 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.[b]
      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.

      Welcome to Day 2018 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
      This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
      The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 9 – Daily Wisdom
      Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, but my grandkids call me Gramps. We are on Day 2018 of our trek. 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 9.
      The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 9
      1 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.
        Today, as you ponder Proverbs 9, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

        • Wisdom Calls for a Hearing

          • 8 Listen as Wisdom calls out!
          Hear as understanding raises her voice!
          2 On the hilltop along the road,
          she takes her stand at the crossroads.
          3 By the gates at the entrance to the town,
          on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
          4 “I call to you, to all of you!
          I raise my voice to all people.
          5 You simple people, use good judgment.
          You foolish people, show some understanding.
          6 Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you.
          Everything I say is right,
          7 for I speak the truth
          and detest every kind of deception.
          8 My advice is wholesome.
          There is nothing devious or crooked in it.
          9 My words are plain to anyone with understanding,
          clear to those with knowledge.
          10 Choose my instruction rather than silver,
          and knowledge rather than pure gold.
          11 For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
          Nothing you desire can compare with it.
          12 “I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
          I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.
          13 All who fear the Lord will hate evil.
          Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
          corruption and perverse speech.
          14 Common sense and success belong to me.
          Insight and strength are mine.
          15 Because of me, kings reign,
          and rulers make just decrees.
          16 Rulers lead with my help,
          and nobles make righteous judgments.
          17 “I love all who love me.
          Those who search will surely find me.
          18 I have riches and honor,
          as well as enduring wealth and justice.
          19 My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold,
          my wages better than sterling silver!
          20 I walk in righteousness,
          in paths of justice.
          21 Those who love me inherit wealth.
          I will fill their treasuries.
          22 “The Lord formed me from the beginning,
          before he created anything else.
          23 I was appointed in ages past,
          at the very first, before the earth began.
          24 I was born before the oceans were created,
          before the springs bubbled forth their waters.

          • Another Warning about Immoral Women

            • 7 Follow my advice, my son;
            always treasure my commands.
            2 Obey my commands and live!
            Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.[a]
            3 Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.
            Write them deep within your heart.
            4 Love wisdom like a sister;
            make insight a beloved member of your family.
            5 Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman,
            from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.
            6 While I was at the window of my house,
            looking through the curtain,
            7 I saw some naive young men,
            and one in particular who lacked common sense.
            8 He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,
            strolling down the path by her house.
            9 It was at twilight, in the evening,
            as deep darkness fell.
            10 The woman approached him,
            seductively dressed and sly of heart.
            11 She was the brash, rebellious type,
            never content to stay at home.
            12 She is often in the streets and markets,
            soliciting at every corner.
            13 She threw her arms around him and kissed him,
            and with a brazen look she said,
            14 “I’ve just made my peace offerings
            and fulfilled my vows.
            15 You’re the one I was looking for!
            I came out to find you, and here you are!
            16 My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,
            with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.
            17 I’ve perfumed my bed
            with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
            18 Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.
            Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses,
            19 for my husband is not home.
            He’s away on a long trip.
            20 He has taken a wallet full of money with him
            and won’t return until later this month.[b]”
            21 So she seduced him with her pretty speech
            and enticed him with her flattery.
            22 He followed her at once,
            like an ox going to the slaughter.

            • Lessons for Daily Life

              • 6 My child,[a] if you have put up security for a friend’s debt
                  or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—
              2 if you have trapped yourself by your agreement
                  and are caught by what you said—
              3 follow my advice and save yourself,
                  for you have placed yourself at your friend’s mercy.
              Now swallow your pride;
                  go and beg to have your name erased.
              4 Don’t put it off; do it now!
                  Don’t rest until you do.
              5 Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,
                  like a bird fleeing from a net.
              6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones.
              Learn from their ways and become wise!
              7 Though they have no prince
              or governor or ruler to make them work,
              8 they labor hard all summer,
              gathering food for the winter.
              9 But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep?
              When will you wake up?
              10 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
              a little folding of the hands to rest—
              11 then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
              scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
              12 What are worthless and wicked people like?
              They are constant liars,
              13 signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,
              a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.
              14 Their perverted hearts plot evil,
              and they constantly stir up trouble.
              15 But they will be destroyed suddenly,
              broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.
              16 There are six things the Lord hates—
              no, seven things he detests:
              17 haughty eyes,
              a lying tongue,

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 5.
              The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 5
              • Avoid Immoral Women

                • 5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
                listen carefully to my wise counsel.
                2 Then you will show discernment,
                and your lips will express what you’ve learned.
                3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,
                and her mouth is smoother than oil.
                4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison,
                as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
                5 Her feet go down to death;
                her steps lead straight to the grave.
                6 For she cares nothing about the path to life.
                She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.
                7 So now, my sons, listen to me.
                Never stray from what I am about to say:
                8 Stay away from her!
                Don’t go near the door of her house!
                9 If you do, you will lose your honor
                and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
                10 Strangers will consume your wealth,
                and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
                11 In the end you will groan in anguish
                when disease consumes your body.
                12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
                If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
                13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?
                Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?
                14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin,
                and now I must face public disgrace.”
                15 Drink water from your own well—
                share your love only with your wife.
                16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
                having sex with just anyone?
                17 You should reserve it for yourselves.
                Never share it with strangers.
                18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
                Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
                19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.
                Let her breasts satisfy you always.
                May you always be captivated by her love.
                20 Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman,
                or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?
                21 For the Lord sees clearly what a man does,
                examining every path he takes.
                22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins;
                they are ropes that catch and hold him.
                23 He will die for lack of self-control;
                he will be lost because of his great...

                • A Father’s Wise Advice

                  • 4 My children, listen when your father corrects you.
                  Pay attention and learn good judgment,
                  2 for I am giving you good guidance.
                  Don’t turn away from my instructions.
                  3 For I, too, was once my father’s son,
                  tenderly loved as my mother’s only child.
                  4 My father taught me,
                  “Take my words to heart.
                  Follow my commands, and you will live.
                  5 Get wisdom; develop good judgment.
                  Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.
                  6 Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you.
                  Love her, and she will guard you.
                  7 Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!
                  And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.
                  8 If you prize wisdom, she will make you great.
                  Embrace her, and she will honor you.
                  9 She will place a lovely wreath on your head;
                  she will present you with a beautiful crown.”
                  10 My child, listen to me and do as I say,
                  and you will have a long, good life.
                  11 I will teach you wisdom’s ways
                  and lead you in straight paths.
                  12 When you walk, you won’t be held back;
                  when you run, you won’t stumble.
                  13 Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.
                  Guard them, for they are the key to life.
                  14 Don’t do as the wicked do,
                  and don’t follow the path of evildoers.
                  15 Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way.
                  Turn away and keep moving.
                  16 For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day.
                  They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.
                  17 They eat the food of wickedness
                  and drink the wine of violence!
                  18 The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
                  which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.
                  19 But the way of the wicked is like total darkness.
                  They have no idea what they are stumbling over.
                  20 My child, pay attention to what I say.
                  Listen carefully to my words.
                  21 Don’t lose sight of them.
                  Let them penetrate deep into your heart,
                  22 for they bring life to those who find them,
                  and healing to their whole...

                  • Trusting in the Lord

                    • 3 My child, never forget the things I have taught you.
                    Store my commands in your heart.
                    2 If you do this, you will live many years,
                    and your life will be satisfying.
                    3 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you!
                    Tie them around your neck as a reminder.
                    Write them deep within your heart.
                    4 Then you will find favor with both God and people,
                    and you will earn a good reputation.
                    5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
                    do not depend on your own understanding.
                    6 Seek his will in all you do,
                    and he will show you which path to take.
                    7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
                    Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
                    8 Then you will have healing for your body
                    and strength for your bones.
                    9 Honor the Lord with your wealth
                    and with the best part of everything you produce.
                    10 Then he will fill your barns with grain,
                    and your vats will overflow with good wine.
                    11 My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
                    and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
                    12 For the Lord corrects those he loves,
                    just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.
                    13 Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
                    the one who gains understanding.
                    14 For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
                    and her wages are better than gold.
                    15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
                    nothing you desire can compare with her.
                    16 She offers you long life in her right hand,
                    and riches and honor in her left.
                    17 She will guide you down delightful paths;
                    all her ways are satisfying.
                    18 Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
                    happy are those who hold her tightly.
                    19 By wisdom the Lord founded the earth;
                    by understanding he created the heavens.
                    20 By his knowledge the deep fountains of the earth burst forth,
                    and the dew settles beneath the night sky.
                    21 My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment.
                    Hang on to them,...
