Welcome to Day 2038 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 29 – Daily Wisdom

Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2038

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2038 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 29.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 29

29 Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism

will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.

2 When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice.

But when the wicked are in power, they groan.

3 The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,

but if he hangs around with prostitutes, his wealth is wasted.

4 A just king gives stability to his nation,

but one who demands bribes destroys it.

5 To flatter friends

is to lay a trap for their feet.

6 Evil people are trapped by sin,

but the righteous escape, shouting for joy.

7 The godly care about the rights of the poor;

the wicked don’t care at all.

8 Mockers can get a whole town agitated,

but the wise will calm anger.

9 If a wise person takes a fool to court,

there will be ranting and ridicule but no satisfaction.

10 The bloodthirsty hate blameless people,

but the upright seek to help them.[a]

11 Fools vent their anger,

but the wise quietly hold it back.

12 If a ruler pays attention to liars,

all his advisers will be wicked.

13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common—

the Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.

14 If a king judges the poor fairly,

his throne will last forever.

15 To discipline a child produces wisdom,

but a mother is disgraced by an undisciplined child.

16 When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes,

but the godly will live to see their downfall.

17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind

and will make your heart glad.

18 When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.

But whoever obeys the law is joyful.

19 Words alone will not discipline a servant;

the words may be understood, but they are not heeded.

20 There is more hope for a fool

than for someone who speaks without thinking.

21 A servant pampered from childhood

will become a rebel.

22 An angry person starts fights;

a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin.

23 Pride ends in humiliation,

while humility brings honor.

24 If you assist a thief, you only hurt yourself.

You are sworn to tell the truth, but you dare not testify.

25 Fearing people is a dangerous trap,

but trusting the Lord means safety.

26 Many seek the ruler’s favor,

but justice comes from the Lord.

27 The righteous despise the unjust;

the wicked despise the godly.
