Day 2032 – The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 23 – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Day 2032 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomThe Book of Proverbs – Chapter 23 – Daily WisdomWisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2032Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2032 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 23.The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 2323 While dining with a ruler,pay attention to what is put before you.2 If you are a big eater,put a knife to your throat;3 don’t desire all the delicacies,for he might be trying to trick you.4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.Be wise enough to know when to quit.5 In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,for it will sprout wingsand fly away like an eagle.6 Don’t eat with people who are stingy;don’t desire their delicacies.7 They are always thinking about how much it costs.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2023andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17028a (a)]“Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it.8 You will throw up what little you’ve eaten,and your compliments will be wasted.9 Don’t waste your breath on fools,for they will despise the wisest advice.10 Don’t cheat your neighbor by moving the ancient boundary markers;don’t take the land of defenseless orphans.11 For their Redeemer[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2023andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17032b (b)] is strong;he himself will bring their charges against you.12 Commit yourself to instruction;listen carefully to words of knowledge.13 Don’t fail to discipline your children.The rod of punishment won’t kill them.14 Physical disciplinemay well save them from death.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2023andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17035c (c)]15 My child,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2023andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17036d (d)] if your heart is wise,my own heart will rejoice!16 Everything in me will celebratewhen you speak what is right.17 Don’t envy sinners,but always continue to fear the Lord.18 You will be rewarded for this;your hope will not be disappointed.19 My child, listen and be wise:Keep your heart on the right course.20 Do not carouse with drunkardsor feast with gluttons,21 for they are on their way to poverty,and too much sleep clothes them in rags.22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,and don’t despise your mother when she is old.23 Get the truth and never sell it;also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment.24 The father of godly children has cause for joy.What a pleasure to have children who are wise.[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2023andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17045e (e)]25 So give your father and mother joy!May she who gave you birth be happy.26 O my son, give me your heart.May your eyes take delight in following my ways.27 A prostitute is a dangerous trap;a promiscuous woman is as dangerous as falling into a narrow well.28 She hides and waits like a robber,eager to make more men unfaithful.29 Who has anguish?
