  • Day 1991 – Robbed of Joy – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Day 1991 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
    This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
    Robbed of Joy – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1991 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.
    Today’s quote is from Wisdom-Trek, and it is, "An old man was asked what had robbed him of joy the most in his lifetime. He replied, ‘Things that never happened.’"
    Robbed of Joy
    We all fall prey to this syndrome at times. It is where we worry, fret, or have anxiety about what might happen. However, if you chronicle what causes you stress and then look back at it, you would soon realize that most things that consume us with worry never occur. We have little or no control over the remainder, so it is senseless to expend energy with anxiety.
    So instead of allowing fear to rob you of joy, cast all your cares on God, for He cares for you. Fill your life with gratitude and joy; there will be no room for fear and anxiety. A God who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present can undoubtedly take care of us. Trust and obey for there is no other way to be joyful in Jesus than to trust and obey.

    Philippians 4:6-7
    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.

  • Day 1990 – Failures Are Practice Shots – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Day 1990 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
    This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
    Failures Are Practice Shots – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1990 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.
    Today’s quote is from Charles F. Kettering, and it is, “An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he’s in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots.”
    Failures Are Practice Shots
    All famous inventors tried and failed dozen, hundreds, or possibly thousands of times before they came up with the correct combination to succeed. The problem is that most will give up long before they reach a reasonable level of success. Even today, with multi-processing high-speed computers running simulations or AI, it will take many iterations of a process before a successful outcome. Technology may speed up the processing, but it took many tries to make the computers we take for granted today.
    If you are unwilling to invest the time needed to succeed, then you will ultimately be doomed to failure. Once you succeed, you will need to continually reinvent yourself to stay ahead of the dozens of others who are improving your process or products. Failures on your quest are not the end. They are just practice shots where you are becoming increasingly better at what you are working on until you finally reach a level of success.
    Then after a brief celebratory victory lap, it is back to the grindstone to improve on your invention or pursuit. Do not give up. Run the race to win. Fulfill the destiny that God has called you to, no matter what those around you may say.

    Hebrews 12:1-4
    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. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up. After all, you have not yet given your lives in your...

    Welcome to Day 1989 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
    This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
    Intelligent and Wise – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1989 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:
    Today’s quote is from Bryant H. McGill, and it is, “An intelligent and wise person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in their understanding of things.”
    Intelligent and Wise
    We should not be ashamed to admit that we are wrong or may have errors in our work unless it is habitual. Only a truly intelligent and wise person is also mature enough to understand that we gain intelligence and wisdom by making mistakes, learning from them, and then continuing excellently.
    Now, there is a point if you keep repeating the same mistakes and you are not adding intelligence or wisdom that you may not be intelligent or wise. Intelligence is the accumulation of knowledge, while wisdom is an accumulation of common sense and life skills.
    So when you make mistakes or have errors in your work or studies, you have a choice to add to your learning and wisdom and make corrections, or you become a simple fool. In the first situation, there is no need to be ashamed. In the latter, you should be ashamed that you are not gaining intelligence and wisdom. Choose wisely.
    2 Timothy 2:15
    Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.

    Welcome to Day 1988 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

    An Infinite God – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1988 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.
    Today’s quote is from A. W. Tozer, and it is, "An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others."
    We are limited in our abilities and thinking because we are finite creations. We are controlled and confined within space and time. We can only be in one place at a time, and we experience life one moment at a time.
    God has no such limitations on Him. Therefore, we cannot comprehend a God who dwells outside space and time. Yet, according to God’s revelation to us, through His Word, He has created us as finite creatures. But those same limitations are not part of God’s character.
    I can somewhat comprehend everlasting life, but that is based on a fixed starting point. I cannot understand not having a beginning or end. I cannot comprehend being untethered from the limitations of space.
    We know that Jesus’s resurrected bodies which we will take on at the last day, did not have the limitations our mortal bodies have today. We will be free to move within time and space at will. Since God is not limited as we are today, He can give all of himself to each of us individually.
    It is no different than if we were the only single-created human. God has no limits. Therefore, He can fill each one with His Spirit to dwell within us. His Spirit will teach, guide, and direct us in all we do. We believe by faith, even when we cannot understand.
    Isaiah 55:8-9
    “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
    “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
    For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so my ways are higher than your ways
    and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1987 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.
    Today’s quote is from Martin Luther King, Jr., and it is, “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
    Be Concerned for Others
    All of us tend to be self-consumed. We may not admit it, but in many ways, most of us act as if we are at the center of the universe. We become so self-absorbed that we fail to be concerned for others as we should be. Let us rise above our small individual worlds and show a broader concern for all humanity, starting with our family and close friends.
    God does not expect us to impact the world with His kingdom individually, but He does expect us to impact our world with His kingdom. If each of us, as Christ-followers, moves beyond self and focuses on the concerns and needs of others we influence, we will see the world change and God’s kingdom come to earth as it is in heaven. Let us change our small world so we can change the world as a whole.
    Philippians 2:1-4
    Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

    Welcome to Day 1986 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

    Be a Realist – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1986 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.
    Today’s quote is from Sydney J. Harris, and it is, "An idealist believes the short run doesn’t count. A cynic believes the long run doesn’t matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run."
    Be a Realist
    It is so easy to get stuck in the mindset of an idealist, wishing our lives and circumstances were what we desire instead of accepting life as it is. Yet, we don’t want to be  cynics, thinking that what we do does not matter long-term.
    Instead, a realist understands that we need to do what is required today and that it does matter while we plan, prepare, and work towards what we need to do long term. Neither the idealist nor a cynic will not be successful because they are not focused on the entire picture and refuse to accept areas they may not have control over. So, as difficult as it may be, being a realist, dealing with life as it is, and working through the obstacles is the only successful long-term path.
    Hebrews 12:10-13
    For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong.

    Don't Be Too Safe – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1985 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.
    Today’s quote is from Dr. Myron S. Allen, and it is, “An idea in a cage is like a silver dollar buried in the ground. Both are safe, but neither produces anything.”
    Don’t Be Too Safe
    Ideas or plans kept to yourself and not executed result in nothing for you or the world. Our purpose, our vocation as Christ-followers, is to be salt and light to the world while building God’s kingdom. If we remain safe in our little bubble, then we are not fulfilling God’s commands to go into all the world to make disciples throughout our sphere of influence.
    Instead, we are to plant the good news into the hearts of those with whom we rub shoulders. Or else we are to water the seeds which others have already planted. We are not to be idle. As the parable that Jesus taught in Matthew 25, we are to take what God has given us, whether little or much, and multiply it to the best of our abilities. Let us not play it safe as the one servant did and hide the money in the ground; let us be about multiplying His kingdom.
    1 Corinthians 3:5-7
    After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.

    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1984 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.

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 H. Patterson, and it is, “A leader is a person who always decides; sometimes he decides correctly, but he always decides.”
    Always Decide
    One significant difference between a person who leads effectively and a person who does not is their ability to make decisions on a timely basis. Every one of us is continually making decisions and choices, even if the decision is not to decide.
    Those who rise as authentic leaders can decide, even if their choices are not always correct. A genuine leader will also take responsibility for his decisions and then remedy any decisions that were not correct. The key is not being paralyzed with fear, but being able to move forward even if the path is not clear.
    God has not given us the spirit of fear. Rather if we abide in His Word continually, God will provide us with a sound mind so that the majority of the decisions that we do make will be wise decisions.
    Ecclesiastes 2:24
    So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God.

    An Excuse – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1983 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.
    Today’s quote is from Zig Ziglar, and it is, “An excuse is first cousin to a lie.”
    An Excuse
    We all make excuses, just like we all have a propensity to lie. But, unfortunately, in both cases, the one hurt most by an excuse or a lie is ourselves. We are quick to make excuses for our lack of achievement or to cover up where we fell short in some area of life. Not in all, but in many cases, an excuse is a lie that we tell ourselves.
    While there are legitimate reasons to provide excuses for where we have missed the boat, we need not offer an excuse but state the reason for not meeting some expectations for ourselves or others. A viable reason is some circumstance that was out of our control, and therefore we were prevented from meeting an obligation or expectation. We do need to be careful that we do not allow our excuses or reasons to cross over the line where we choose to lie or fabricate our story in part or whole.
    Every time we lie, we do so to protect ourselves or our image. The fact is, though, it only tarnishes us even more than if we would have told the truth to begin with. So, as much as possible, minimize excuses, and avoid lying.
    1 John 2:20-23
    But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit, and all of you know the truth. So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies. And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

    Learn to Chew Quickly – Daily Wisdom
    Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1982 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.
    Today’s quote is from Roy Ash, and it is, “An entrepreneur tends to bite off a little more than he can chew, hoping he’ll quickly learn how to chew it.”
    Learn Quickly
    I have been an entrepreneur since childhood and have grown exponentially throughout my adult life. We have been successful in most endeavors but have also failed significantly at times. We have made a lot of profit, but we also lost nearly everything at one point. So I can completely relate to this quote today.
    So many times, I have bitten off more than I can comfortably chew with the hope and prayer that I can learn to chew before I choke. Sometimes, the best way to learn is in the middle of chaos, where you know that you must swim or you will undoubtedly sink and drown. This sets a successful entrepreneur apart from someone who dreams of being an entrepreneur.
    Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
    Send your grain across the seas,
    and in time, profits will flow back to you.
    But divide your investments among many places,
    for you do not know what risks might lie ahead.
    When clouds are heavy, the rains come down.
    Whether a tree falls north or south, it stays where it falls.
    Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.
    If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.
    Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
    Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another—or maybe both.
