Welcome to Day 2033 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomThe Book of Proverbs – Chapter 24 – Daily WisdomWisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2033Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2033 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 24.The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 2424 Don’t envy evil peopleor desire their company.2 For their hearts plot violence,and their words always stir up trouble.3 A house is built by wisdomand becomes strong through good sense.4 Through knowledge its rooms are filledwith all sorts of precious riches and valuables.5 The wise are mightier than the strong,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2024andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17061a (a)]and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.6 So don’t go to war without wise guidance;victory depends on having many advisers.7 Wisdom is too lofty for fools.Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.8 A person who plans evilwill get a reputation as a troublemaker.9 The schemes of a fool are sinful;everyone detests a mocker.10 If you fail under pressure,your strength is too small.11 Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;save them as they stagger to their death.12 Don’t excuse yourself by saying, “Look, we didn’t know.”For God understands all hearts, and he sees you.He who guards your soul knows you knew.He will repay all people as their actions deserve.13 My child,[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2024andversion=NLT#fen-NLT-17069b (b)] eat honey, for it is good,and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste.14 In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul.If you find it, you will have a bright future,and your hopes will not be cut short.15 Don’t wait in ambush at the home of the godly,and don’t raid the house where the godly live.16 The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.17 Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;don’t be happy when they stumble.18 For the Lord will be displeased with youand will turn his anger away from them.19 Don’t fret because of evildoers;don’t envy the wicked.20 For evil people have no future;the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.21 My child, fear the Lord and the king.Don’t associate with rebels,22 for disaster will hit them suddenly.Who knows what punishment will comefrom the Lord and the king? More Sayings of the Wise23 Here are some further sayings of the wise:It is wrong to show favoritism when passing judgment.24 A judge who says to the wicked, “You are innocent,”will be cursed by many people and denounced by the nations.25 But it will go well for those who convict the guilty;rich blessings will be showered on them.26 An honest answeris like a kiss of friendship.27 Do your planning and prepare your fieldsbefore building your house.28 Don’t testify against your neighbors without cause;don’t lie about them.29 And don’t say, “Now I can pay them back for what they’ve done to me!I’ll get even...
