Welcome to Day 2807 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2807 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 116:15-19 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2807 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2807 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. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Costly Departure – A Sacrifice of Thanksgiving Today, we are bringing our deeply personal journey through Psalm One Hundred Sixteen to a glorious, triumphant conclusion. We will be trekking through the final stanza of this profound song, covering verses fifteen through nineteen, in the New Living Translation. Before we take our next step, we must look back over our shoulder at the trail we just traveled. In our previous trek, covering the first fourteen verses of this psalm, we stood beside a man who had stared into the terrifying abyss of the underworld. We heard his raw, trembling testimony. He told us how the ropes of death had wrapped around his neck, and how the terrors of the grave had overtaken him. In his absolute helplessness, he cried out a simple prayer: "Please, Lord, save me!" And Yahweh, the Most High God, bent down from the heavens to listen. He severed the cords of death, dried the psalmist's tears, and stabilized his stumbling feet. In overwhelming gratitude, the psalmist lifted the "Cup of Salvation," promising to praise the Lord in the land of the living. We also remembered that this is part of the Egyptian Hallel, the collection of psalms sung during the Passover. Jesus Himself sang these very words in the Upper Room, just hours before He faced the ultimate terror of the cross. Now, as we enter the final five verses, the psalmist transitions from the private terror of his near-death experience, to the public courts of the temple. He begins with a stunning revelation about how God views the death of His people, and ends with a communal feast of thanksgiving. It is a transition from the darkness of the grave, to the bright, joyful center of cosmic geography: Jerusalem. Let us walk into the temple courts, and listen to the conclusion of this magnificent testimony. The first segment is: The Weight of the Faithful: A Costly Departure. Psalm One Hundred Sixteen: verse fifteen. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants. This single verse is one of the most famous, and frequently quoted, comforts in the entire Bible, especially during times of grief. But to truly understand its depth, we must peel back the layers of the original Hebrew language, and view it through the lens of the Ancient Israelite worldview. The word translated as "precious" is yaqar. In English, when we hear the word "precious," we often think of something sweet, sentimental, or cute. But that is not what yaqar means. In biblical Hebrew, yaqar means heavy, rare, costly, or of immense value. It is the word used to describe rare jewels, or the heavy, expensive stones used to lay the foundation of the temple. Therefore, the psalmist is not saying that God finds our death sweet or pleasant. Death is the enemy. Death, in the ancient mindset, was the ultimate expression of the chaotic realm of Sheol. Instead, the psalmist is making a profound statement about our value: "Heavy, costly, and of immense consequence in the sight of Yahweh, is the death of His faithful ones." God does not view the passing of His people casually. He does not treat us as expendable pawns on a cosmic chessboard. When the forces of chaos and disease try to drag a believer down into the grave, the Lord takes it personally. It costs Him something. He values His human imagers so highly, that their departure from this earth is an event of cosmic gravity. The term "faithful servants" is the Hebrew word chasidim, which is rooted in Hesed—God's unfailing, loyal, covenant love. The chasidim are the loyal ones, the ones bound to God by covenant. Because He is fiercely loyal to them, He does not surrender them to the grave without a fight. In the case of this psalmist, God looked at the high cost of his death, stepped into the fray, and said, "Not today." He severed the ropes of Sheol, because the life of His servant was simply too valuable to lose to the darkness. When Jesus sang this verse on the night of His betrayal, He was acknowledging the profound weight of what He was about to do. His death would be the ultimate, costly departure. Yet, because it was so precious in the sight of the Father, it would become the very mechanism that defeated death forever. The second segment is: The Joyful Captive: Freedom Through Submission. Psalm One Hundred Sixteen: verse sixteen. O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains. Having reflected on how much God values his life, the psalmist responds with an absolute surrender of his identity. He repeats his title twice for emphasis: "O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant." The word for "servant" here is ebed, which can also be translated as slave or bondservant. But this is not a forced, oppressive slavery; this is a willing, joyful submission to a benevolent King. The psalmist adds a beautiful, intimate detail: "born into your household." Literally, the text says, "the son of your maidservant." In the ancient Near East, a slave who was purchased from a foreign land had a very different status than a slave who was born within the master's own house. A servant born into the household was practically considered family. They grew up under the master's roof, ate the master's food, and enjoyed the master's protection. By calling himself the son of a maidservant, the psalmist is claiming a deep, lifelong, family connection to Yahweh. He is saying, "Lord, I belong to You. I have always belonged to You. I am a child of Your estate." And here is the beautiful paradox of the biblical worldview: true freedom is found only in becoming a servant of the Most High God. Notice the next phrase: "you have freed me from my chains." Just a few verses earlier, the psalmist was wrapped in the ropes of death. Those were the chains of chaos, destruction, and fear. By submitting himself entirely to Yahweh as a servant, those chains of oppression were shattered. In the Divine Council worldview, humans will always serve a master. We will either be enslaved by the dark, rebellious principalities of this world—forces that seek to bind us in addiction, fear, and ultimately the grave—or we will bind ourselves to the Creator, whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light. The psalmist declares that because God broke the chains of death, he is now happily, permanently bound to the Lord. He is a free man, precisely because he is God's servant. The third segment is: The Public Feast: Testifying in the Sacred Courts. Psalm One Hundred Sixteen: verses seventeen through nineteen. I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people— in the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of Jerusalem. Praise the Lord! Now, the psalmist takes his private, internal gratitude, and makes it undeniably public. He transitions from the prayer closet, to the temple courts. He promises: "I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving." This is a very specific reference to the Levitical law. In the Book of Leviticus, Chapter Seven, the Todah—or Thanksgiving Sacrifice—was a type of peace offering. When an Israelite was rescued from a life-threatening illness, a dangerous journey, or a deadly enemy, they were instructed to bring an animal sacrifice, along with unleavened bread, to the tabernacle. But this sacrifice was unique. It was not burned up entirely on the altar. The priest took a portion, but the vast majority of the meat and bread was given back to the worshiper. The worshiper was then required to host a massive, joyful feast, inviting their family, friends, and even the poor, to eat the meal with them on that very same day. Think about the profound psychology of this ritual. You could not eat an entire animal by yourself. You had to invite a crowd. And as you passed the meat and the bread, people would naturally ask, "What are we celebrating?" That was your moment to testify. That was the moment to say, "I was standing at the edge of the grave. The ropes of death had me. But I called on the name of the Lord, and He saved me!" This is exactly what the psalmist intends to do: "and call on the name of the Lord. I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence...

Welcome to Day 2805 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2805 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 114:1-14 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2805 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand eight hundred five 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. The Title for Today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Cup of Salvation – Rescued from the Cords of Death Today, we are continuing our profound journey through the Egyptian Hallel. This is the collection of praise songs, sung by the Jewish people during the Passover festival, commemorating their deliverance from slavery. We are stepping into the deeply personal territory of Psalm One Hundred Sixteen, covering verses one through fourteen, in the New Living Translation. To fully appreciate where we are standing today, we must look back at the trail we just hiked in Psalm One Hundred Fifteen. In that previous trek, we stood amidst the great, living choir of Israel. We heard the worship leader call out to the nation, the priests, and all who fear the Lord, commanding them to trust in the Maker of heaven and earth. We learned that the heavens belong to Yahweh, but the earth has been given to humanity, as His authorized representatives. The psalm ended with a stark reminder: the dead cannot sing praises; therefore, we must praise the Lord while we still have breath in our lungs. Psalm One Hundred Sixteen takes that final thought about life, death, and praise, and turns it into a vivid, first-hand testimony. If Psalm One Hundred Fifteen was a massive, public choir singing about the theology of God, Psalm One Hundred Sixteen is a single, trembling voice, singing about the intimacy of God. The psalmist has just survived a near-death experience. He was standing on the absolute brink of the grave, staring into the abyss, and God reached down and pulled him back. As we read this, remember that this was sung by Jesus and His disciples on the very night He was betrayed. Jesus sang these words about the "snares of death," knowing that within hours, He would be facing the cross. So, let us walk closely with the psalmist, and discover what it means to lift the cup of salvation. The first segment is: Psalm One Hundred Sixteen: verses one through four I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the Lord: "Please, Lord, save me!" The psalm begins with a raw, unfiltered declaration of affection: "I love the Lord." It is actually quite rare in the Psalms for the writer to begin with such a blunt, personal statement of love. But why does he love God? "Because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy." Notice the beautiful, physical imagery the psalmist uses to describe God's attentiveness:...
Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji returned with a solo edition of Catch That Ticket on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, keeping the focus strictly on the NBA while Uncle Dave enjoyed a day off on the golf course. The pod opened with momentum, as the duo improved to 4 and 0 on best bets for the week following a 2 and 0 sweep the previous night. Uncle Dave cashed Missouri plus 3.5 in an outright win over Tennessee, while Manji delivered with Paolo Banchero over on points, rebounds, and assists as Banchero poured in 36 points in Orlando's 110 to 109 victory over the Lakers. Manji briefly addressed listener feedback, thanking supporters for positive reviews while emphasizing that the core mission remains consistent, beating the books and putting money in listeners' pockets. Tuesday's NBA recap highlighted Cleveland's 109 to 94 win over the Knicks in a game that stayed under the total, Toronto's home loss to Oklahoma City despite key Thunder absences, Boston's 97 to 81 win over Phoenix without Jaylen Brown, and Orlando's road victory in Los Angeles. Looking ahead to Wednesday's slate, Manji broke down several back to back scenarios. Oklahoma City travels to Detroit after playing in Toronto, and the Thunder have struggled on the second leg of back to backs with a 1 and 8 record against the spread. Detroit, one of the league's top defensive teams with a 108.3 season long defensive rating and strong recent form, is positioned as a measuring stick opponent. With both teams ranking in the top five defensively over the last 10 games and playing at below average pace, Manji leaned under 219.5 in that matchup, while also favoring the Pistons minus 7.5. In Toronto, the Spurs visit the Raptors, who are also on a back to back. San Antonio enters healthy and playing balanced basketball, benefiting from multiple contributors alongside Wemby. With Toronto trending under in these spots and covering just 40 percent on the second leg of back to backs, Manji backed Spurs minus 7.5 and also targeted a Raptors team total under 110.5. In Houston, the Rockets host the Kings as heavy 13.5 point favorites. Sacramento snapped a 16 game losing streak but continues to struggle defensively, ranking near the bottom of the league. Houston has shown offensive efficiency against weaker defenses, and despite playing at a slow pace, has capitalized in favorable matchups. Rather than lay the large spread, Manji preferred the Rockets team total over 118.5. The marquee matchup features Boston in Denver, with the Nuggets laying 3.5 and a total of 229.5. Boston has been strong on back to backs, going 6 and 3 against the number and 7 and 2 to the under. Both teams rank first and second in offensive rating season long, yet play at slow pace, with Boston dead last in pace and Denver below league average. Manji projected a half court game and favored the under 229.5 while also leaning Nuggets minus 3.5 in a bounce back spot. He also noted Boston's resilience without Jayson Tatum, highlighting their depth and efficiency, and suggested the Celtics remain a team to monitor in futures markets. Manji closed by promoting discounted college basketball packages at pregame.com using promo code EAST25 and confirmed his best bet for the night as Rockets team total over 118.5, aiming to extend the podcast's winning streak to five straight.

0:00 - After trading Sam Girard, the Avs have a good $8.7 million in cap space to play around with. Knowing Chris MacFarland and how much he enjoys shuffling the deck, we don't think he's done.

In Segment 1, Grant dives into the complicated current state of the LA Clippers. Sitting at 27-30 on the season, the team is at a massive crossroads amid rumors of looming league punishments surrounding the Aspiration scandal, which could potentially void Kawhi Leonard's contract. However, there is a massive silver lining shining at the Intuit Dome: Bennedict Mathurin. Since arriving at the trade deadline, Mathurin has been an absolute revelation, including a 38-point showcase against the Nuggets. Grant breaks down why the 23-year-old's elite isolation scoring proves he can be the franchise's next foundational star. In Segment 2, we shift from the future of LA basketball to its legendary past to honor the "Godfather of Showtime." We hear directly from Pat Riley following the long-awaited unveiling of his 8-foot bronze statue outside Crypto.com Arena. Grant plays the best audio clips from the Star Plaza ceremony, reacting to Riley's moving speech about adversity, the iconic Giorgio Armani suit immortalized in bronze, and the unforgettable moments shared on stage with Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Sean Payton will be giving up play calling to new offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Should Payton have given up play calling at midseason—and if so, how different would the offense have looked? How much will Webb calling plays help Bo Nix? Payton also said running back, linebacker and tight end are positions the Broncos need to address in the offseason because they have free agents at those positions. What position should be the top priority? Plus, the Avalanche traded Sam Girard and a 2nd round pick to the Penguins for veteran defenseman Brett Kulak. Are the Avalanche with Kulak, a better team? Finally, the Avs resume action tonight after the Olympic break and the Nuggets host the Celtics on National TV. Check out a Wednesday episode of Hot Takes with Eric Goodman & Troy Renck!
