Welcome to Day 1741 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Lie Has No Future – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1741 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. 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. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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:

Today’s quote is from Zig Ziglar, and it is: A lie may take care of the present, but it definitely has no future.

A Lie Has No Future

I believe that we are all prone to lying, at least to some extent. But, unfortunately, it seems to be universal among humankind. It may just be fudging the facts or embellishing the truth slightly, but when you strip away all excuses and rationalization, it has some element of a lie if it is not the truth. This pattern of behavior may help us out of a sticky situation today, or it may fool others to our true intent and motive, but it will be discovered if continued. As difficult as being completely honest is, if we desire to positively impact others, we need to have a character of integrity in all we do. The more you lie, the deeper your troubles will become, and the fewer others will trust you.

On the other hand, when you always tell the truth, you never have to determine what to say when you are confronted with the facts of a situation. Just continue truthfulness at all times, and life will be so much easier to live. The truth is liberating. It allows you to take off the shackles of slavery that lies bind you.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2012%3A22andversion=NLT (Proverbs 12:22)

The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth.

Welcome to Day 1740 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Lie Is Quick – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1740 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. 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. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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:

Today’s quote is from Winston Churchill, and it is: A lie goes halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on.

A Lie Is Quick

I don’t know of a time in history where this quote has been more accurate than today. With instant information worldwide, self-proclaimed social media experts, and the 24/7 news cycle bombarding us with negative news, the lies are fast and furious. It is nearly impossible to know if the information we absorb today is truth, mixed truth, or purposeful deception. Unfortunately, it appears that almost everyone is proclaiming their version of the truth and trying to destroy anyone who disagrees with them. We even see those who are Christ-followers spreading disinformation and condemning those who disagree with their viewpoint. This should not be. Yet, even with this disarray of information in the world today, we can take comfort in that God is the author of all truth, so if what you hear elsewhere does not line up with God’s Word, then it is not truth. So don’t be discouraged or be faint of heart. God’s Word will prevail, and His truth will win out in the end when Christ returns to establish His worldwide kingdom where Eden will be restored, not as a garden but encompassing the entire globe.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+14%3A10-13andversion=NLT (Romans 14:10-13)

So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For the Scriptures say,

“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,

‘every knee will bend to me,

and every tongue will declare allegiance to God.’”

Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.

Welcome to Day 1739 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomDetermination – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps.

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:

Today’s quote is from Ronald Reagan, and it is: A leader, once convinced a particular course of action is the right one, must have the determination to stick with it and be undaunted when the going gets rough.

Determination

If you are going to lead others on a quest towards a goal, you must believe in your soul that the quest is worth pursuing and be convinced of the best way to handle it. Once you have determined that a particular course of action is the right one, you must have the perseverance and endurance to reach the finish line. When the trail ahead of you becomes daunting and complex, filled with setbacks and obstacles, you must continue no matter what. One of the essential marks of a great leader is that they do not give up, give in, or quit when others would. Instead, a great leader will keep moving forward, learn to enjoy the journey, and be able to reap the reward of a job well done. Furthermore, a great leader will gladly share that reward with those they lead. Joshua, the Old Testament leader of the Nation of Israel, was given these leadership instructions directly from God.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua+1%3A6-9andversion=NLT (Joshua 1:6-9)

“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. 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.

Today’s quote is from Rosalynn Carter, and it is: A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t want to go but ought to be.

Leading People for Good

There is undoubtedly a difference between a leader and a great leader. The position of leadership on its own has a certain amount of authority that comes with it. Because of this, a leader can lead people to a goal or destination which they already desire to go based on self-interest. On the other hand, it requires a great leader to lead people to reach new heights and go to places uncomfortable for them. Most people are resistant to venture outside of their comfort zone, even for their good. A skillful and effective leader can instill confidence and courage into a person by walking beside them, encouraging them, and assisting them through the difficult areas of the path. A great leader has the vision to move forward towards the goal, not only for themselves and the organization but also for each team member. It is required of a great leader to stretch their team to reach their individual God-given abilities. May God’s grace fill you so that you can be a great leader.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+12%3A1-2andversion=NLT (Hebrews 12:1-2)

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

Welcome to Day 1737 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomNo Shades of Gray – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1737 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. 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. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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:

Today’s quote is from G. Alan Bernard, and it is: A leader not only stays above the line between right and wrong, but he also remains well clear of the gray areas.

No Shades of Gray

When you are leading others with integrity, there is no room for questionable or gray areas in the decisions you make and the values you stand for. Therefore, you must stay above reproach and never dabble with any questionable areas of life. I realize that at times, decisions are not always crystal clear, and there can be various interpretations of what is right or wrong, but you should have a clear understanding in your mind of where you draw the line in your decision-making. If you are drifting towards that line into the gray areas of life, you need to change course and remain well clear of those areas where there are shades of gray. It is much better to stand firmly for what is right than to err towards what some may interpret as wrong. The passage for today was written explicitly to those who desire to be leaders within a church situation. The same should apply to any area of life because we should all aspire to this level as Christ-followers.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+3%3A1-5andversion=NLT;NIV (1 Timothy 3:1-5)

This is a trustworthy saying: “If someone aspires to be a church leader, he desires an honorable position.” So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?

Welcome to Day 1736 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomKnow And Solve Problems – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1736 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. 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. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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:

Today’s quote is from John C. Maxwell, and it is: A leader lives with people to know their problems. A leader lives with God in order to solve them.

Know and Solve Problems

A good leader is invested in the lives of those whom they lead. They care for them and desire to know their problems to assist in any manner possible. However, it is also true that a good leader will not have solutions for all of the issues they encounter. That is why a good and godly leader will live close to God in his daily walk of life to have the wisdom needed to assist those whom they lead. I don’t see how it could be possible to handle leadership demands if you are not fully immersed in God’s Word, a guide to assist when leading others. In addition to God’s Word, which when properly understood is a manual for living, a Christ-follower has God’s spirit within to lead and guide. So if you desire to be a good and godly leader, invest time daily in God’s Word and prayer. In doing so, you will gain the necessary skills to know the problems of those you lead and provide Biblically-based solutions to those problems.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%205%3A12andversion=NLT (Daniel 5:12)

This man Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, has exceptional ability and is filled with divine knowledge and understanding. He can interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.

Today’s quote is from Unknown, and it is: A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not.

Lead By Example

This quote is undoubtedly accurate. Everyone is involved in leadership of some kind, even if it is your children, nieces, and nephews, or a meeting where you participate. We may verbalize our leadership to others, but the example we leave to those we lead will speak much louder than any words or proclamations that we may utter. As the old cliché says, we must walk our talk. What we say will have a minor impact on others. However, what we do, and how we act will have a significant effect on others. It is similar to reputation. We all have a reputation. How we serve and what we say in life determines if that reputation is good or bad. Since you are leading others, ensure that your example is worth following. Your example should be so ethical that you would not mind your kids or grandkids following you.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2071%3A7andversion=NLT (Psalm 71:7)

My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection.

Today’s quote is from John C. Maxwell, and it is: A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Show The Way

Each of us is a leader in some area of life. The question is, how effective is your leadership? There are various leadership methods, and specific techniques have proven to be much more effective than others. An effective leader practices the three attributes which are mentioned in today’s quote. First, a leader must know what the objectives and outcomes are for every specific project or tasks. Second, an effective leader will go along with their group or team, not just send them out on their own. Third, an effective leader will also show the way the team or group must go. Finally, a leader will also set an example for their team and be an example. Excellent and effective leadership requires all three aspects. How are your leadership skills?

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%201%3A13andversion=NLT (Deuteronomy 1:13)

We are on Day 1733 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. 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. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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:

Today’s quote is from Ralph Lauren, and it is: When a leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He then inspires the power and energy to get it done.

Inspired By Achievement

Depending on the situation or circumstance, we are either leaders or followers. When we have the opportunity to lead, we must lead well. A dream requires a vision and conviction that you can achieve what you set out to do. When your followers see that vision and conviction, they will also believe that it is possible. As a result, your followers will be inspired with power and energy to accomplish the tasks set before them. In the other situation, where you are a follower, look to the leader to show you the vision and conviction needed to complete the dream ahead of you and follow well.

We need to understand that our gifts of leadership or the talent of being a support person come from God. We are responsible to God for how we utilize these gifts. Use them wisely.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12%3A6-8andversion=NLT (Romans 12:6-8)

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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:

Today’s quote is from Billy Graham, and it is: A knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life.

Bible Knowledge

Billy Graham was undoubtedly the most influential evangelist of our modern age, with his active ministry spanning over 60 years. His knowledge of the Bible was extensive. So it should be with us. Knowing God’s Word is essential to be able to live by its precepts that are found within. The more extensively we understand the Scriptures from the perspective of its original authors and the culture in which they lived, the more we can understand what God desires of us as His imagers. We need to let the Bible be what it is. While it can teach us about nature and science, that is not its primary purpose. While it can teach us some history, it is not primarily a history book.

I’m suggesting that the path to accurate biblical understanding requires that we don’t make the Bible conform to our traditions, prejudices, personal crises, or our culture’s intellectual battles. Yes, you’ll find material in Scripture that will help you resolve personal difficulties and questions. But you must remember that, while the Bible was written for us, it wasn’t written to us. What the authors wrote is still vital for our lives today, but we can only accurately discern the message if we let them speak as they spoke.

The point is that letting the Bible be what it is not only helps us interpret Scripture accurately, but it has incredible apologetic value. Taking Scripture on its own terms helps our focus and fends off distractions. When Scripture is rightly understood, its relevance will also be clear.

As Billy Graham said: A knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life.

Jesus put it this way:

John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
