Day 2011 – The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 2 – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Day 2011 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomThe Book of Proverbs – Chapter 2 – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, but my grandkids call me Gramps. We are on Day 2011 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 2. The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 2The Benefits of Wisdom1 My child,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%202andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-16411a (a)] listen to what I say,and treasure my commands.2 Tune your ears to wisdom,and concentrate on understanding.3 Cry out for insight,and ask for understanding.4 Search for them as you would for silver;seek them like hidden treasures.5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,and you will gain knowledge of God.6 For the Lord grants wisdom!From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.8 He guards the paths of the justand protects those who are faithful to him.9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,and you will find the right way to go.10 For wisdom will enter your heart,and knowledge will fill you with joy.11 Wise choices will watch over you.Understanding will keep you safe.12 Wisdom will save you from evil people,from those whose words are twisted.13 These men turn from the right wayto walk down dark paths.14 They take pleasure in doing wrong,and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil.15 Their actions are crooked,and their ways are wrong.16 Wisdom will save you from the immoral woman,from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman.17 She has abandoned her husbandand ignores the covenant she made before God.18 Entering her house leads to death;it is the road to the grave.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%202andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-16428b (b)]19 The man who visits her is doomed.He will never reach the paths of life.20 So follow the steps of the good,and stay on the paths of the righteous.21 For only the godly will live in the land,and those with integrity will remain in it.22 But the wicked will be removed from the land,and the treacherous will be uprooted.As you ponder Proverbs 2, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of ‘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: Live Abundantly (Fully) Love Unconditionally Listen Intentionally Learn Continuously Lend to others Generously Lead with Integrity Leave a Living Legacy Each DayI am Guthrie Chamberlain….reminding you to ’Keep Moving Forward,’ ‘Enjoy your Journey,’ and ‘Create a Great Day…Everyday’!
