Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 200 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Proverbs 6:30-35 Lessons for Daily Life #5
Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast.
This is Day 200 of our Trek, and for one final day, we will stay at camp digging
for nuggets of wisdom as we continue our exploration into the book of Proverbs
Chapter 6. Yesterday we explored verses 20-29, and today we will dig into verses
30-35. If you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com
to listen to them and read the daily journal.

We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North
Carolina. There has been a lot of work and activities this week, but we continue
on each day accomplishing all that we can.



If our plans do not change, Paula and I will head to Biltmore Mansion in
Asheville, North Carolina on Saturday for our annual Christmas visit. Biltmore
is America’s largest home and with its 250 rooms is magnificent to visit any
time of the year, but when it is decorated for Christmas, it is a site to
behold.  We do look forward to these short excursions that we are able to take,
even with a busy schedule.  As I continually try to learn to be a good and wise
husband, I am still learning the importance of these times away from our work to
spend with each other.



We will remain at camp for another day as we finish up Proverbs Chapter 6
digging deep for additional nuggets of wisdom that we can digest. As we
accumulate this wisdom, it helps us to create that living legacy each day so we
can impact our world throughout eternity. Never underestimate the value that you
bring into the world with just a single act of kindness.



To use an analogy for our life, gathering together with like-minded people
around a campfire is always a reflective time – a time to share stories, to
laugh, and to enjoy each other’s company. As I reflect back over this past year,
we have been able to accomplish a significant amount by God’s grace and also
your support. Today our Wisdom-Trek passes the 200th day of our trek. The time
really has rushed by.

I want to thank you for being on this trek of life with me over these 200
days. I have really enjoyed being your guide and your mentor but most
importantly your friend. Please leave a comment at Wisdom-Trek.com or email me
at guthrie@venturecg.com, and let me know how our days together have impacted
your life. Also, let me know how I can improve so the next 200 days bring an
even greater impact. Thank you in advance.



For today, let’s get started and dig for more nuggets of wisdom as we explore
Proverbs Chapter 6:30:35. This chapter in Proverbs is referred to as…
Lessons for Daily Life
Today I will read the entire passage, and then we will break it down into small
segments as we dive deeper into our exploration.

30 Excuses might be found for a thief
who steals because he is starving.
31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
even if he has to sell everything in his house.
32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool,
for he destroys himself.
33 He will be wounded and disgraced.
His shame will never be erased.
34 For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious,
and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35 He will accept no compensation,
nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.

So now let’s do a deep dive into the verses.

30 Excuses might be found for a thief
who steals because he is starving.
31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
even if he has to sell everything in his house.

We can understand somewhat the plight of this thief although we should not
excuse the actions. This thief is hungry. He has no food. His family would also
have no food. So, this thief steals because he is starving. We can sympathize
with him. However,
