Character Counts – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1877 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.
Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.

God has blessed each of us with specific talents and abilities that are different from everyone else. It is up to us to use those talents and skills for His honor and glory. Part of this is through training and honing our skills.

Your character will allow you to continue to excel throughout your life. Your talents and skills may take on a different focus depending on the season of life you are currently in, but your character will remain the same. Your character is who you are, regardless of your talents and abilities.
So, you may be thinking, what are the character traits I should include in my life? Someone of excellent character possesses qualities like loyalty, honesty, courage, integrity, fortitude, and other essential virtues that promote good behavior. A person with good character chooses to do the right thing because they believe it is morally right. All of these qualities make up your integrity in life. It is who you are. Let us utilize the talents and skills God has blessed us with to build His kingdom on earth.
1 Corinthians 12:1-6
Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us.  I don’t want you to misunderstand this. You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols.  So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.  There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all.  There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord.  God works in different ways, but it is the same God who...
