Welcome to Day 1731 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomAll Is Well – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1731 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 Fred Smith, and it is: A key element of maturity is a quiet center…an undisputable spot in the heart where all is well.

All Is Well

Are you at peace with yourself? When the storms of life rage, do you come undone? When someone treats you unkindly or maligns you, do you respond in kind? One of the proofs that you are a mature person is when you can remain calm within the storms of life, which buffet us daily. Maintaining that quiet center of emotions indicates that all is well within, even when they are not without. As Christ-followers, we have the extra benefit of God’s Holy Spirit that dwells within us, granting us divine power to be at peace, even if the world is in chaos. Having this peace assures our hearts that all is truly well. We can be a powerful testimony and example to those who are struggling or in turmoil, which will allow us to share with others where our peace comes from, which is God in us. If you are not quite to the place where you can have a quiet center, quiet confidence, then I would encourage you to invest more time in God’s Word and in prayer to grow in maturity.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%204%3A6%2D8andversion=NLT (Philippians 4:6-8)

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

Welcome to Day 1730 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Single Step – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1730 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.

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 a Chinese Proverb, and it is: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

A Single Step

This proverb is well-known but still accurate and practical. Any task or project that we need to accomplish will only be completed when we take the first step of action, and then follow that step with a sequential series of steps. Therefore, we need to get past getting ready to get ready and move forward. In most situations, it does not require that we rush through the project, but we must continue on one step at a time with perseverance. It is always best to plan our activities and know the detailed steps within the plan. That being said, our plan is worthless if we do not begin with that single first step. Once you start, the momentum will keep you moving forward. One step at a time, you will reach your journey of a thousand miles.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+10%3A35-36andversion=NLT (Hebrews 10:35-36)

So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

Welcome to Day 1729 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomPay It Forward – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1729 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.

Today’s quote is from Albert Einstein, and it is: A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.

Pay It Forward

The concept behind this quote from Albert Einstein is also the core of Wisdom-Trek: our lives should be a living legacy to others. No person is self-made because who we are today is primarily determined by other people who influence and impact our lives. By God’s grace, He has allowed the lives and labors of others in history past, or our current season of life, to help us learn and grow. These individuals helped to shape and form our God-given abilities and talents so that we can be all that God intended for us. We need to make sure that we pass these same benefits to others by positively impacting anyone who crosses through our trek of life. This concept is what it means to create a living legacy so that you are influencing others every day, and that all you do will echo through eternity in the lives of others.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%205%3A11andversion=NLT (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2015%3A2andversion=NLT (Romans 15:2)

We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.

Today’s quote is from Zig Ziglar, and it is: A hundred friends are not enough, but one enemy is too much.

Friends And Enemies

Very few people have enough energy and time to invest in more than a few close friends. That being said, there is no real limit on the number of friendly acquaintances you may have over your lifetime. Fortunate is the person who surrounds themselves with others who will assist, support, and love them. Interestingly, most of us have many friends and acquaintances, but it only takes one person who does not like us to spoil our mindset. I see this situation magnified on social media sites. People may get a thousand likes or positive comments on something they publish, but if they receive one negative comment, they dwell on that one negative comment instead of the thousand positive ones. We all fall prey to this mindset, but let us break free of these shackles and focus on good things. With friends and many other situations in life, if we are not careful, we will allow our mindset to drift into a negative pattern. We need to be focused on good, strengthening our body, mind, and soul.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+4%3A8-9andversion=NLT (Philippians 4:8-9)

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Today’s quote is from Bil Keane, and it is: A hug is like a boomerang — you get it back right away.

Boomerang Hugs

There are very few people who don’t like a good hug, and the great thing about earnestly hugging another person is that you receive a hug back at the same time. I realize that during the past couple of years, we were cautioned and somewhat restricted on who and when we should hug another person during the ongoing pandemic. I understand the concerns, but feel that it was more detrimental not to show this form of affection to so many who desperately need this connection with others. There is an innate desire within each of us to crave the gentle touch from another person. This desire does not go away during times of illness or hardship. If anything, it heightens such a need. So as permitted, and where appropriate, show your love and concern for others through a healthy hug. Show others that you do care and what is best for them. In return, in most cases, that hug will come back to you as they return the mutual love and concern for you.

Romans 12:9-11

Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

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 Benjamin Franklin, and it is: A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

House vs. Home

While Ben Franklin did not expand far enough on the differences between a house and a home, this is a good foundation. A house is just a structure where people may dwell, but a home supports, nourishes, and protects those who live within. This nourishment and protection go beyond the physical needs of the family who lives within the home. A strong home will provide the necessities of food and fire for the mind as well as the body. No person is complete who is just feed physically. Each person who lives within a home must also have their mind filled with nutrients and protection and be an educated, well-rounded individual. So, within your home each day, ensure that each occupant is fed well and kept warm in both body and mind.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%203%3A33andversion=NLT (Proverbs 3:33)

The Lord curses the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the upright.

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.

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 Ovid, and it is: A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.

Outpace The Competition

In nearly all areas of life, competition is beneficial for you, to the person(s) you are competing with and whatever you are pursuing and the product you are making or marketing. Knowing that we have to go head-to-head with another person for a position, client, sporting event, or other pursuits in life will allow us to try harder, perform better, and succeed in the goals we are trying to achieve. In addition, competing will make the activity even more enjoyable. When others determine the level of achievement we are competing with, it raises the stakes for everyone involved. It will allow teams or individuals to try harder and excel in sporting events. It will enable manufacturers of products to produce better and even new products. Finally, it will force better performance within any organization. I don’t believe we are doing children a favor when we take out competition from events because they will be expected to compete when they are adults. It is acceptable to recognize participants, but there should also be rewards for those who excel. It is not a matter of whether you are better than someone else; it is a matter of utilizing your God-given potential to your greatest potential for you. Competition helps to make sure we are doing our best for God’s glory. We may not win when we compete, but it has proven to be effective if it forces us to do and be better than we would have otherwise. Compete well, and give God the glory for the outcome, no matter what the result.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2012%3A1andversion=NLT (Hebrews 12:1)

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.

Welcome to Day 1724 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Holy Life Shines – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1724 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 Dwight L. Moody, and it is: A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine.

A Holy Life Shines

As imagers of God, a lighthouse is such a great example of what our lives are to be like. It is God’s spirit that will draw a person to himself, we are to be a light to shine brightly and show the way. Our lives will only show the way when our light is not obstructed by sin. The keeper of the lighthouse had to make sure that the power source was in place to energize the light, and that the light was always clean so it would shine as brightly as possible. God’s Holy Spirit, who dwells in us, is the power source, and living lives unobstructed by sin will ensure that our light is shining each day brightly. We do not need to make a lot of noise, or create a lot of fanfare in order to reach others for Christ. We just need to keep shining each day. Stand your ground just as a lighthouse is built on a solid rock foundation. Be unmovable in your faith, while being flexible in your love for others. Live a life that is holy, which means to be set apart from God for His service. It is then you will make the deepest impression on others.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+4%3A21-22andversion=NLT (Mark 4:21-22)

Then Jesus asked them, “Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine. For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light.

Welcome to Day 1723 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomYour Failure Point – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1723 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 Robert Schuller, and it is: A high jumper never knows how high he can jump until he reaches a failure point.

Your Failure Point

None of us know with certainty how far we can go until we reach the point of failure, as indicated in our quote today. A competitive high jumper who desires to improve and excel will not quit the first time they crash into the bar. Instead, they will keep practicing and working on their techniques to reach new heights each time they compete. So it is with any desire which we pursue. If we quit the first time we fail, our life will be marked with a series of failures. That is not what God expects from us, nor should we expect from ourselves. We need to pick ourselves up from the mat, return to the starting line, and try again. Once we clear the current hurdle, we need to ask for the bar to be raised to improve and succeed at a higher level. You will never know how far you can go until you reach a temporary point of failure. Once you analyze why you failed, and have an opportunity to learn and improve, you can continue towards your new goal or destination. You are never a failure until you chose to quit. Have faith that God will take you to new heights based on your God-given talents and abilities. You may amaze yourself with how far you can go. So, keep moving forward!

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Thessalonians+1%3A11-12andversion=NLT (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12)

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

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 Christopher Reeve, and it is: A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

A Hero

When we think of a hero, it is usually a person who has some extraordinary talents and abilities, but that is not a true hero. Instead, those individuals who perform heroic acts are very ordinary persons who value other people's lives over their own. Because of their view that all life is precious when they face the overwhelming obstacles of life. Their mindset and worldview are such that when there is a call to action, they are mentally and emotionally prepared to take on challenges that might ordinarily frighten them. They are the people who will jump into a lake to rescue a drowning child. They are willing to approach a burning vehicle to drag out a victim that is trapped. They are the health care workers of the past couple of years who found the strength to persevere and endure despite overwhelming obstacles. They are the grandparents who pray for their children and grandchildren that God would keep, protect, and watch over them each day. Let us look around and honor those everyday heroes. Also, be willing to be a hero yourself.

The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
