Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 134 of our Trek, and we are remaining at camp this week as we dig for the nuggets of wisdom contained within the book of Proverbs. We have discovered some precious treasure so far this week, so let us continue on our study of the map to wisdom.
Yesterday we explored Chapter 3:7-12, and today we will continue to explore in Chapter 3 as we discover just how valuable wisdom really is. Once we complete the entire book of Proverbs, we will make the entire commentary available in an eBook although we will be going on many treks between our times at camp. If you have any of your own observations, comments, or questions as we explore these nuggets of wisdom, please share them in the comment section of our daily journal pages.
We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Looking back at this past week, it has been an interesting and exciting opportunity for growth. The three podcasts where I was a guest went well, and we are making progress and providing value to others that are also creating and publishing podcasts in their own areas of expertise.
The wisdom and insight that can be gleaned by sitting around a campfire, as we have been doing this week, is astounding. As we look at the verses today, we will see the tremendous value of obtaining wisdom and how wisdom was the very foundation for all of creation.
The title of Chapter 3 is…
13 Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
the one who gains understanding.
14 For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
and her wages are better than gold.
15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 She offers you long life in her right hand,
and riches and honor in her left.
17 She will guide you down delightful paths;
all her ways are satisfying.
18 Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;
happy are those who hold her tightly.
