Welcome to Day 2075 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 4 – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2075 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 4.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 4

A Father’s Wise Advice

My children, listen when your father corrects you.Pay attention and learn good judgment,2 for I am giving you good guidance.Don’t turn away from my instructions.3 For I, too, was once my father’s son,tenderly loved as my mother’s only child.

4 My father taught me,“Take my words to heart.Follow my commands, and you will live.5 Get wisdom; develop good judgment.Don’t forget my words or turn away from them.6 Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you.Love her, and she will guard you.7 Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.8 If you prize wisdom, she will make you great.Embrace her, and she will honor you.9 She will place a lovely wreath on your head;she will present you with a beautiful crown.”

10 My child, listen to me and do as I say,and you will have a long, good life.11 I will teach you wisdom’s waysand lead you in straight paths.12 When you walk, you won’t be held back;when you run, you won’t stumble.13 Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go.Guard them, for they are the key to life.

14 Don’t do as the wicked do,and don’t follow the path of evildoers.15 Don’t even think about it; don’t go that way.Turn away and keep moving.16 For evil people can’t sleep until they’ve done their evil deed for the day.They can’t rest until they’ve caused someone to stumble.17 They eat the food of wickednessand drink the wine of violence!

18 The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.19 But the way of the wicked is like total darkness.They have no idea what they are stumbling over.

20 My child, pay attention to what I say.Listen carefully to my words.21 Don’t lose sight of them.Let them penetrate deep into your heart,22 for they bring life to those who find them,
