Welcome to Day 606 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

The Tale of Two Houses – Proverbs 9

The Tale of Two Houses 1

Hello, my friend, and welcome to Wisdom-Trek! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your Guide to Wisdom and Creating a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. Today is Day 606 of our trek, and it is Wisdom Wednesday. Every Wednesday along life’s trails we dig for the nuggets of wisdom that are found within the book of Proverbs. Today we will explore Proverbs 9 from The Voice Translation which will give us a fresh perspective on this book of timeless wisdom.

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. The weather this week has turned absolutely beautiful. The temperatures are in the 80’s, and the sun is shining. Paula and I were able to plant our outdoor flowers around the house, and the peonies are in full bloom. With the nice weather this week we will see rapid growth.

The hawks have been providing an almost endless supply of fresh food for their chicks. There appear to be two chicks, and we can hear their cry for food and are now seeing their heads pop up above the rim of the nest as their parents feed them. We don’t have a clear view of the nest since the leaves obscure part of our view. Like most children, it won’t be long before they take flight for a life of their own. This is why it is so important that we teach our children and grandchildren the godly attributes of wisdom and integrity so that they are ready to handle life grounded in Biblical precepts.

Our granddaughter Hazel is at Nationwide Children Hospital for two days this week for further testing and additional treatments for her leukemia. The first-day results are extremely positive, and her blood is responding well to her first month of treatments. We are praying that the remainder of her tests will also be positive. If they are, it does not shorten the two-year treatment cycle, but the intensity of the treatments may be less severe. We would appreciate your continued prayers for Hazel and her tribe.

As we do influence others for good, we want to teach them how to choose wisely in every area of life. As we explore Proverbs Chapter 9 today, we will compare and contrast Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly in…

The Tale of Two Houses

Chapter 9 is the last story chapter in Proverbs before we move onto the actual proverbs. This chapter starts out with the 4th speech by Lady Wisdom. The structure of this chapter is very symmetric. It opens with a 6-verse invitation to the house of Lady Wisdom (1-6) and closes with a 6-verse invitation to the house of the adulteress who is Lady Folly (13-18). These two invitations are separated by a 6-line call to practice humility (7-12).

The summons from the two ladies is strikingly similar, “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” (4, 16). Both women make the same appeal, but each for different reasons. One wants to lift the simple up to life, while the other wants to cast the simple down to the grave. Notice that both have houses (1, 14) and both serve bread (5, 17).

The Tale of Two Houses 2

Both make a speech (5-6, 17), but each of them differs in nature. Lady Wisdom’s words ring out clear and pure as a bell, “Leave your simple ways.” The words of the adulteress are slinky and provocative as she purrs, “Stolen water is sweet.” The simple reader is left with a choice, but the author has made it easy – this boils down to life or death.

These two similar-but-contrasting invitations wrap around the central portion of the text (7-12). This middle section clarifies the key to choosing wisely – humility! As I read verses 7-12 consider them prayerfully. Abide by these words and live. “If you are a mocker,” the author warns, “you alone will suffer the consequences” (12).

The Tale of Two Houses 3

This chapter marks the end of the 9-chapter section of speeches from a father and from Lady Wisdom. To sum them up…Choose life! Choose wisdom! Now listen up as I read Proverbs 9.

1 Lady Wisdom has built her house;
she has supported it with seven pillars.
2 She’s prepared a feast:
She’s slaughtered her animals, poured a spiced wine,
and set her table.
3 She has sent out her servants with the invitation to come to the party;
she, too, calls out from the highest point of the city:

4 Whoever is young and gullible, turn in here.
You are welcome in this place!

Then, turning to those who are naive, she says:

5 Come in. Come, eat my bread,
and drink my spiced wine.
6 Give up your gullible ways, your naive thoughts, for true life.
Set your course for understanding.

7 Whoever tries to discipline a scoffer should expect a hail of insults in return.
Whoever tries to correct an evildoer is likely to get hurt in the process.
8 So do not correct a scoffer unless you are ready to be hated,
but correct the wise and you will be loved.
9 Give instruction to the wise, and they will become wiser.
Teach upstanding people, and they will learn even more.
10 Reverence for the Eternal, the one True God, is the beginning of wisdom;
true knowledge of the Holy One is the start of understanding.

11 Through me your days will be lengthened,
and years will be added to your life.

12 If you are wise, wisdom is its own reward.
If you mock what you don’t understand, you alone will suffer the consequences.

13 Compared to Wisdom, the Lady Folly is rowdy and loud,
naive and ignorant.
14 She sits by the door of her house,
on a bench at the highest place in the city,

15 Crooning to passersby
who hurry straight on to their destinations:

16 Whoever is young and gullible, turn in here.
You are welcome in this place!

Then, she turns to the naive.

17 Stolen water tastes so much sweeter!
Bread secreted away is much more satisfying to eat!

18 But those who pause to listen to Lady Folly do not know death is the next stop,
that her guests are walking cadavers.

That will conclude our exploration of Proverbs 9. You need to choose Lady Wisdom and not Lady Folly. You need to follow the precepts that God has written to us from the Bible, which is His letter of instruction to us as bearers of His image.

Next week we will begin a new section in Proverbs that dive right into the heart of Solomon’s wisdom with Chapter 10, and each week we will explore a full chapter in Proverbs. I hope that you will join us each week so that you can gain wisdom, insight, and understanding for yourself.

All of the Proverbs provide us with rich wisdom, insight, and understanding on a myriad of life issues. Regardless of where you are in your faith walk, if you follow the precepts in Proverbs, your life will be rich and satisfying. I encourage you to take them and plant the seeds of wisdom in your heart so that you will reap a harvest of wisdom throughout your life.

Tomorrow we will hike another short trail of Wisdom Unplugged where we will discover an inspirational wisdom quote. So encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along with us tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

Day 605 – Live In the Present – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 605 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

Live In the Present – Wisdom Unplugged

Live in the present 1

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 605 of our trek, and it is time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.

Today’s quote is from Budda who said, “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.”

Our health is impacted dramatically by the amount of stress that we allow to reign in our lives. Much of the time we are stressed by situations that we have no control over, such as the past and the future.

The past is behind you, there is nothing you can do to change the bad days, and you cannot relive the good days. You can only wisely apply the lessons that were taught to you by the past. If mistakes were made, do not repeat them again. Let the past be your teacher, but it is no longer your master.

Live in the present 2

Do not worry about tomorrow, for no one knows what tomorrow will bring you.  Prepare and plan the best that you can with the time and knowledge you have, but do not invent problems that may not even happen.

Live fully today with wisdom and integrity. Live with intentionality. Live to make a difference in the lives of those that you have the opportunity to impact. If you live fully today, your past will be your stepping stone, and your future will take care of itself.  The Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Ephesians 5:15-17, “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.”

Live in the present 6

So live every day in such a manner that you make the most of every opportunity. It is then you will be living a life with wisdom.

That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged. If you enjoy these quotes, I have created and published a searchable database of over 10,000 quotes that I have collected for many years. If you would like free access to my database of inspirational quotes, the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com.

Just as you enjoy these nuggets of wisdom, please encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

As we take this trek of life together, let us always:

  1. Live Abundantly (Fully)

Day 604 – Passion – The Tools in Gramps’ Backpack

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 604 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Passion – The Tools in Gramps’ Backpack

Love - The Tools in Gramps Backback

 

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 604 of our trek and Motivation Monday. We are hiking a series of trails called The Tools in Gramps’ Backpack.

Each Monday for a total of 20 weeks, we will explore a different tool that is needed to motivate and equip parents and grandparents to train their children and grandchildren to be successful on their trek of life. If you don’t have children or grandchildren of your own, use these tools to train others that you do influence. Today the 19th tool from Gramps’ Backpack is Passion.

 We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. This past weekend we were able to get outside with the chainsaw and continue our work on cutting up the trees that we had cut down several months ago. It will take another weekend or two to finish cutting it up, and we will wait until fall to split it. We certainly have a large pile of firewood that should last us for several winters.

We were also able to attend the first dance recital for our granddaughter Aurora and invest time with several family members this past week which is always a blessing.

As we continue to adjust to our schedule around Hazel’s leukemia treatments and the impact that this has on our family, which is in many ways positive, it gives us time for a pause to focus on what our true passions are in life.

Passion2

So the tool we will explore today is…

Passion

Are you passionate about the activities of your life, your loved ones, your work, and your Savior? As a Christ follower, who has been given the gift of eternal life through the sacrifice of Christ, we should be passionate about our service for Him through our lives. This service will incorporate all areas of our lives as we dedicate ourselves to impacting our world. We need to be passionate about our lives and teach this passion to our children, grandchildren, and others that we mentor.

The popular movie “The Passion of Christ” which was released a few years ago showed very vividly the love and passion that Christ has for us. Why did Christ endure the humiliation and torture of the cross? He did it for you. His love is as near as your next breath, as personal as your next thought, more essential than your next heartbeat. What should your response be to this passion that Christ has for you? You must accept His love, praise His name, and live a life that is worthy of His calling. You must conduct yourself in a manner that demonstrates to your children, grandchildren, and others that you impact that your acquaintance with the Master is not a passing fancy but that it is instead the cornerstone and the very bedrock of your life.

As a thoughtful Christ follower, you have every reason to be enthusiastic about all of life. I do realize that the realities of life do impact us. Sometimes the struggles of everyday living may leave you feeling exhausted and discouraged, especially if something has impacted you in a dramatic way. If your passion for life is slowly fading away, it is time to slow down, to rest, to recount your blessings, to have an attitude of gratitude, to worship, and to pray.

Passion4

When you allow Christ to reign over your heart, when you worship Him with words, thoughts, prayers, and deeds, your life can become rich and satisfying. This may be a gradual process as we follow the exhortation found in 2 Peter 1:3-9,

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.  And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.

 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

 The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.

Passion7

Since God has given us everything that we need to live a passionate Godly life, we need to supplement our lives with the attributes listed in the passage above. At the same time, we need to teach our children, grandchildren, and others that we mentor how to live passionate godly lives through these same attributes. Put into practice what the Apostle Paul instructed us in Romans 12:11, “Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.”

With these thoughts in mind, we will conclude our trek for today and close Gramps’ backpack. Before I do, I will pass the tool of Passion on to you. Once you have this tool in your backpack, it is up to you to live life with passion putting on the character traits mentioned today. It is up to you to demonstrate and teach this to your children, grandchildren, and others that you mentor. Living a life of passion needs to become a part of the very fabric of your life, it is then that you will live the rich and satisfying life that is available to each of us.

Passion5

Next Monday we will investigate the 20th tool in Gramps’ backpack, which is Wisdom. On tomorrow’s trek, we will explore another wisdom quote. This 3-minute wisdom supplement will assist you in becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise each day. Thank you for joining me on this trek called life. Encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along tomorrow for another day of Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

Day 603 – Let Life Touch You – Lifestyle (5)

Welcome to Day 603 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

Let Life Touch You
Let Life Touch You - Philosophy Friday

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 603 of our trek, and today is Philosophy Friday. Every Friday we ponder some of the basic truths and mysteries of life and how they can impact us in creating our living legacy.

Currently, we are on an extended multi-week trek as we explore the teachings from some of my virtual mentors, such as Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, and Earl Nightingale. The core of our current trek is based primarily on Jim Rohn’s book called The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle. I have learned a considerable amount from reading and re-reading this book on my own trek of life, and I trust that it will benefit you also. Keeping with the continuity of Wisdom-Trek, I have adapted it to The Five Trails on Life’s Trek.

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. Our family of hawks is extremely busy feeding their young chicks. They are quite vocal as they seek out and deliver fresh nourishment for their chicks and themselves. Although we have not seen the chicks yet, there are usually two born each year.

As we continue to make adjustments to our schedule and life adjustments surrounding Hazel’s leukemia treatments and their effects, we are starting to adapt to a much different, but more consistent schedule.

File May 10, 1 52 56 PM

As we continue today on our 5th trail, which is the The Trail of Lifestyle, we desire to explore how we can allow life, even with its hardships and troubles, to touch us in such a way that it actually changes us. As life impacts us in meaningful ways, we need to allow it to flow through us to the lives that we impact.

If you have missed the past few Philosophy Friday treks, it would be good to go back and review them to get caught up on our progress so far. We have a lot of ground to cover today, so let’s break camp and begin the fifth trail of this extended trek as we cover:

The Five Trails on Life’s Trek – Lifestyle Part (5)

As a reminder, our overall extended trek covers these five trails:

  1. Philosophy

  2. Attitude

  3. Activity

  4. Results

  5. Lifestyle

Let Life Touch You

There is a world of difference between visiting a foreign country and actually living among its people and experiencing that country. Visiting is a basic physical activity; experiencing is a rich emotional event.

To experience life, you must let it touch you. Not just the positive experiences, but you must also be touched by the sorrows and the sadness, by the losses and the longings. Emotions enrich your life and create for you a special uniqueness regarding both who you are and how you live.

Let Life Touch You 2

To live a unique life, you must first become unique as an individual by experiencing a broad range of human experiences and emotions. Only when you have experienced the full spectrum of human existence can you begin to design and live a life of substance, a rich and satisfying life.

All progress begins with emotion. You do not attract a better life merely by wanting it; you attract it by adopting the emotions that a “better life” requires. But keep in mind that a better life for another person may not be the same as it would be for you.

If you want to be full of joy and happiness, you begin by thinking, feeling, and acting in a joyful manner, which results in happiness. If you want to be wealthy, you begin by thinking, feeling, and acting “wealthy,” which may require some disciplined actions on your part.

You can capture the attention and the appreciation of your family with your current resources. You do not have to wait for wealth to discover and share your joy and happiness. You do not have to wait to be unique. You do not have to postpone the experience of joy and a unique lifestyle because it is within your present reach. In fact, through a disciplined lifestyle, by practicing what is within your present reach, it will actually extend your reach. You only have to start where you are and with what you currently have. You need only to breathe joy, happiness, and uniqueness into your assets of the current moment.

Let Life Touch You 3

The joy that can be shared by surprising your child with a twenty-dollar concert ticket, when that is all you can currently afford, can be as rewarding as giving them a twenty thousand dollar automobile that you cannot afford.

One of your responsibilities as a parent or grandparent is to teach your children and grandchildren how to live a good lifestyle. This is a lifestyle that is not determined by how much material wealth you have, but by how wealthy you are in the character traits listed in Galatian 5:22-23. Here are those attributes, “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”

That is what lifestyle is all about – finding unique ways of transforming emotional possibilities into meaningful experiences that are within your current means.

Let Life Touch You 4

You can start right now by offering all that is within your power to share. Whether you offer your time, a shoulder to cry on, a word of sincere appreciation or your undivided attention, if you will just be there and really live that moment, what an experience that could be!

You must not let the years, and the chances, and the small opportunities for creating moments of joy slip away. If you continue to wait until you have the resources to do the big things before you master the art of experiencing all that life currently has to offer, then you may find that we have waited for too long.

You can begin the process of creating a wealth of experiences and memories that will endure in the hearts of those you love long after you are gone today. This is your legacy, not what you leave behind.

Lifestyle is a source of joy and fulfillment that is available to you, regardless of your current circumstances. It is within the immediate reach of anyone who is willing to choose a mind-shift change.

Let Life Touch You 5

Your life is filled with opportunities for experiencing a new level of joy, happiness, sophistication and gratitude. All that is required is a change of mind and a decision to begin experiencing it all now. As you demonstrate your new commitment to take a full measure from even the smallest opportunities that come your way, you can live abundantly and obtain a rich and satisfying life today.

We are deliberately taking our trek slowly on The Five Trails on Life’s Trek as we complete our hike today on the Trail of Lifestyle. We learned that you must let life touch and impact you today, that you cannot wait to start living the rich and satisfying life, but you must choose to live it each day.

Starting next week on Philosophy Friday and for a few weeks after that, we will invest time back at camp around our campfire as we summarize The Five Trails on Life’s Trek and focus on how we need to develop a sense of urgency to live each day fully. So join us next Friday for these additional insights. I know you will find these insights interesting and profitable in living a rich and satisfying life.

Our next trek is on Monday, and we will continue our series called The Tools in Gramps’ Backpack where we will equip you with the tools needed to impact the lives of others. So encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along on Monday for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

Let Life Touch You 6

That will finish our trek for today. If you would like to listen to any of the past daily treks or read the daily journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. You can also subscribe on iTunes and Google Play so that each day’s trek will be downloaded automatically.

Thank you for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and most of all your friend as I serve you through the Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal.

As we take this trek of life together, let us always:

  1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
  2. Love Unconditionally
  3. Listen Intentionally
  4. Learn Continuously
  5. Lend to others Generously
  6. Lead with Integrity
  7. Leave a Living Legacy Each Day

Day 602 – The Search for Wisdom – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 602 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

The Search for Wisdom – Wisdom UnpluggedThe Search for Wisdom

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 602 of our trek, and it is time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.

Today’s quote is from Siddha Param who said, “The search for wisdom is a great challenge; to act on wisdom is an even greater challenge.”

The Search for Wisdom2

Gaining wisdom seems to be an ever elusive challenge. I believe most people desire to be wise, but they are unwilling to face what is required to gain wisdom and become wise. Wisdom has to be a passion that we seek for more fervently than our desire for monetary gain. In Proverbs 8, Lady Wisdom encourages us to, “Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it.”

The Search for Wisdom3

There is also a fine line between having wisdom intellectually and actually putting that wisdom into action on a daily basis in the decisions and choices that we make.  Proverbs 13:16  tells us, “Wise people think before they act; fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.” So a truly wise person has both a head knowledge of wisdom and they also put that wisdom into practice each day in their decisions and choices.

Gaining wisdom does take desire, effort, discipline, and a faith in God that does not waver. In addition to desiring wisdom more than riches, James 1:5-8 shows us the formula for gaining wisdom, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.”

The Search for Wisdom4
