Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2220

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2220 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

In today’s Wisdom Nugget, I’m excited to continue our journey through the book of Proverbs, where we explore its timeless wisdom. Today, we’re delving into Proverbs 11:24-31 from the New Living Translation. So, tighten your hiking boots as we explore the path of generosity in these verses.

In Proverbs 11:24-31, we continue our exploration of the characteristics and outcomes of living a life of wisdom. These verses provide valuable insights into the rewards of generosity and its impact on our lives and communities.

Verse 31: “If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, what will happen to wicked sinners?”

These verses underscore the contrasting destinies of the righteous and the wicked. The righteous receive rewards on earth, leaving us to ponder the fate of wicked sinners. It highlights the enduring value of living a righteous life.
