Welcome to Day 2049 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 with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2049 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 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. 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. 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.
