Welcome to Day 2098 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 27 – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on trek.com/wisdom-trek-podcast/day-2098">Day 2098 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 27.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 27

Don’t brag about tomorrow, since you don’t know what the day will bring. ² Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth— a stranger, not your own lips. ³ A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but the resentment caused by a fool is even heavier. ⁴ Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous. ⁵ An open rebuke is better than hidden love! ⁶ Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. ⁷ A person who is full refuses honey, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the hungry. ⁸ A person who strays from home is like a bird that strays from its nest. ⁹ The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. ¹⁰ Never abandon a friend— either yours or your father’s. When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance. It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away. ¹¹ Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad. Then I will be able to answer my critics. ¹² A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. ¹³ Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt. Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners. ¹⁴ A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning will be taken as a curse! ¹⁵ A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day. ¹⁶ Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind or trying to hold something with greased hands. ¹⁷ As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. ¹⁸ As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit, so workers who protect their employer’s interests will be rewarded. ¹⁹ As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person. ²⁰ Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied. ²¹ Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised. ²² You cannot separate fools from their foolishness, even though you grind them like grain with mortar and pestle. ²³ Know the state of your flocks, and put your heart into caring for your herds, ²⁴ for riches don’t last forever, and the crown might not be passed to the next generation. ²⁵ After the hay is harvested and the new crop appears and the mountain grasses are gathered in, ²⁶ your sheep will provide wool for clothing, and your goats will provide the price of a field. ²⁷ And you will have enough goats’ milk for yourself, your family, and your servant girls. Today, as you ponder Proverbs 27, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
