    Day 2437 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 16:7-11 – Daily Wisdom
    Aug 16 2024
    Welcome to Day 2437 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 16:7-11 Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2437 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2437 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 will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. Today, we’re diving into the second half of Psalm 16, specifically verses 7 through 11, from the New Living Translation. This portion of the Psalm continues David’s expression of trust and joy in God, and it beautifully encapsulates themes of guidance, joy, security, and eternal life. Let’s explore these verses and uncover the profound truths they hold for us today. Psalm 16:7-11 (NLT): 7 I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. 8 I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. 9 No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. 10 For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. 11 You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. Guidance from God: David begins this section by expressing his gratitude for God’s guidance: “I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me” (verse 7). This verse highlights the constant and intimate guidance that God provides. David acknowledges that God’s wisdom and direction are not limited to specific times or circumstances but are available even in the stillness of the night. This guidance is not just intellectual but also heartfelt. David’s heart instructs him because it is attuned to God’s wisdom. For us today, this verse serves as a reminder that God’s guidance is always available if we seek it. Whether through prayer, scripture, or the prompting of the Holy Spirit, God is eager to lead us on the right path. We should cultivate a sensitivity to His direction, allowing Him to instruct our hearts even in our quiet moments. Presence and Stability: In verse 8, David declares, “I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” This powerful statement reflects David’s unwavering confidence in God’s presence. The assurance of God’s nearness brings stability and strength, enabling David to face any challenge without fear. This verse speaks to the profound truth that God’s presence is a constant source of support. When we acknowledge that God is always with us, we can remain steadfast and unshaken, regardless of our circumstances. The knowledge that God is right beside us, guiding and protecting us, provides a foundation of security and peace. Imagine facing life’s difficulties with the confidence that the Creator of the universe is by your side. This truth transforms our perspective, enabling us to confront challenges with courage and assurance. We can draw strength from God’s presence, knowing we are never alone. Joy and Rest: David continues in verse 9, “No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.” The recognition of God’s constant presence fills...

    Day 2436 – Theology Thursday – The Divine Arrow – I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible
    Aug 15 2024
    Welcome to Day 2436 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Divine Arrow – I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2436 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2436 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. Today is the seventeenth lesson in our segment, Theology Thursday. Utilizing excerpts from a book titled: I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible written by Hebrew Bible scholar and professor the late Dr. Michael S Heiser, we will invest a couple of years going through the entire Bible, exploring short Biblical lessons that you may not have received in Bible classes or Church. The Bible is a wonderful book. Its pages reveal the epic story of God’s redemption of humankind and the long, bitter conflict against evil. Yet it’s also a book that seems strange to us. While God’s Word was written for us, it wasn’t written to us. Today, our lesson is, The Divine Arrow. Few characters in the Bible are as maligned for their wickedness as King Ahab of Israel. While Ahab’s predecessors “did evil in the sight of the Lord’ Ahab had an agenda: He did more to provoke the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than any of the other kings of Israel before him. (1 Kgs 16:33). Ahab’s rule includes Baal worship, forbidden foreign covenants (Syria) and foreign alliances (Jezebel), and the murder of Naboth. In 1 Kings 22, the prophet Micaiah warns Ahab of his impending fate. This isn’t a run-of-the-mill prophecy. It’s mixed with a vision of how God came to the final details of His decision: a divine boardroom discussion. Yes-Men and Yahweh’s Man The 12 tribes of Israel had been split into two kingdoms for a century by the time Ahab took the throne (ca. 869 bc). Ahab ruled the northern kingdom (called Israel or Ephraim), which often fought with the southern kingdom, Judah. After peace reigned between Israel and Judah for three years (22:1), Ahab decided he wanted to capture the city of Ramoth in Gilead from the Arameans. He asked Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, for military assistance. Jehoshaphat agreed to the battle for political reasons, but he wanted assurance that God was in the endeavor (22:5). The 400 prophetic yes-men Ahab consulted endorsed the idea, but Jehoshaphat wanted another opinion (22:6, 11-12). Ahab agreed to summon Micaiah, the prophet of Yahweh, though he openly admitted to hating him (22:8). The real prophet of Yahweh never had anything positive to say about the ungodly Ahab and his rule. The Prophecy At first, Micaiah told Ahab that God loved the plan, but Ahab saw through his mockery. Apparently, this was not the first time: “How many times must I demand that you speak only the truth to me when you speak for the Lord?” (22:16). Micaiah proceeded to tell Ahab he was about to meet his Maker, so chances are good he wanted Ahab to go through with the battle, knowing the end result. Rebuked by Ahab, Micaiah holds nothing back, revealing to Ahab and to us the inner workings of God’s counsel:...

  • Day 2435 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 16:1-6 – Daily Wisdom

    Day 2435 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 16:1-6 – Daily Wisdom
    Aug 14 2024
    Welcome to Day 2435 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 16:1-6 Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2435 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2435 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 will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. Today, we’re diving into Psalm 16:1-6 from the New Living Translation. This Psalm, attributed to David, is a beautiful expression of trust and confidence in God’s protection and provision. As we read through these verses, we’ll explore the themes of refuge, loyalty, joy, and inheritance. Let’s embark on this journey together. Psalm 16:1-6 (NLT): 1 Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. 2 I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” 3 The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them! 4 Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods. 5 Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. 6 The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! Seeking Refuge in God: David begins this Psalm with a heartfelt plea in verse 1: “Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge.” This opening line sets the tone for the entire Psalm, establishing a foundation of trust and dependence on God. David acknowledges his vulnerability and recognizes that true safety and security come from seeking refuge in the Lord. This sentiment resonates with us today, reminding us that we can find shelter and protection in times of uncertainty and danger in God. The concept of refuge is not merely about physical safety; it encompasses spiritual and emotional security as well. When we turn to God, we find a sanctuary for our souls, a place where we are shielded from the storms of life. This assurance allows us to face challenges with confidence, knowing that we are under the care of a loving and powerful God. Acknowledging God’s Sovereignty: In verse 2, David declares, “I said to the Lord, ‘You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.’” This statement is a profound acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty and generosity. By referring to God as his Master, David is expressing his submission and devotion. He recognizes that all the blessings in his life are gifts from God. This verse invites us to reflect on our own lives and recognize God’s hand in the good things we experience. It’s easy to take our blessings for granted or attribute them to our own efforts, but David’s words remind us to give credit where it’s due. Every good and perfect gift comes from above, and acknowledging this truth fosters a heart of gratitude and humility. Finding Joy in God’s People: David continues in verse 3, “The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!” Here, David shifts his focus to the community of believers. He finds joy and inspiration in the company of those who live righteously. The godly people are his...
