Welcome to Day 2047 of  Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

The Book of Proverbs – Chapter 7 – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2047 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 7.

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 7

Another Warning about Immoral Women Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands. ² Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes. ³ Tie them on your fingers as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. ⁴ Love wisdom like a sister; make insight a beloved member of your family. ⁵ Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman, from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman. ⁶ While I was at the window of my house, looking through the curtain, ⁷ I saw some naive young men, and one in particular who lacked common sense. ⁸ He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman, strolling down the path by her house. ⁹ It was at twilight, in the evening, as deep darkness fell. ¹⁰ The woman approached him, seductively dressed and sly of heart. ¹¹ She was the brash, rebellious type, never content to stay at home. ¹² She is often in the streets and markets, soliciting at every corner. ¹³ She threw her arms around him and kissed him, and with a brazen look she said, ¹⁴ “I’ve just made my peace offerings and fulfilled my vows. ¹⁵ You’re the one I was looking for! I came out to find you, and here you are! ¹⁶ My bed is spread with beautiful blankets, with colored sheets of Egyptian linen. ¹⁷ I’ve perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. ¹⁸ Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning. Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses, ¹⁹ for my husband is not home. He’s away on a long trip. ²⁰ He has taken a wallet full of money with him and won’t return until later this month.” ²¹ So she seduced him with her pretty speech and enticed him with her flattery. ²² He followed her at once, like an ox going to the slaughter. He was like a stag caught in a trap, ²³     awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart. He was like a bird flying into a snare, little knowing it would cost him his life. ²⁴ So listen to me, my sons, and pay attention to my words. ²⁵ Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her. Don’t wander down her wayward path. ²⁶ For she has been the ruin of many; many men have been her victims. ²⁷ Her house is the road to the grave. Her bedroom is the den of death. Today, as you ponder Proverbs 7, 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. As we take this trek 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

The Book of Proverbs - Chapter 7

Another Warning about Immoral Women

7 Follow my advice, my son;

always treasure my commands.

2 Obey my commands and live!

Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.[a]

3 Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.

Write them deep within your heart.

4 Love wisdom like a sister;

make insight a beloved member of your family.

5 Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman,

from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman.

6 While I was at the window of my house,

looking through the curtain,

7 I saw some naive young men,

and one in particular who lacked common sense.

8 He was crossing the street near the house of an immoral woman,

strolling down the path by her house.

9 It was at twilight, in the evening,

as deep darkness fell.

10 The woman approached him,

seductively dressed and sly of heart.

11 She was the brash, rebellious type,

never content to stay at home.

12 She is often in the streets and markets,

soliciting at every corner.

13 She threw her arms around him and kissed him,

and with a brazen look she said,

14 “I’ve just made my peace offerings

and fulfilled my vows.

15 You’re the one I was looking for!

I came out to find you, and here you are!

16 My bed is spread with beautiful blankets,

with colored sheets of Egyptian linen.

17 I’ve perfumed my bed

with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18 Come, let’s drink our fill of love until morning.

Let’s enjoy each other’s caresses,

19 for my husband is not home.

He’s away on a long trip.

20 He has taken a wallet full of money with him

and won’t return until later this month.[b]”

21 So she seduced him with her pretty speech

and enticed him with her flattery.

22 He followed her at once,

like an ox going to the slaughter.

He was like a stag caught in a trap,[c]

23     awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart.

He was like a bird flying into a snare,

little knowing it would cost him his life.

24 So listen to me, my sons,

and pay attention to my words.

25 Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her.

Don’t wander down her wayward path.

26 For she has been the ruin of many;

many men have been her victims.

27 Her house is the road to the grave.[d]

Her bedroom is the den of death.
