First-Rate Person – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1964 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. 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 Judy Garland, and it is: Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else.
First-Rate Person


God has created each of us individually as unique imagers of Him. Therefore, God does not desire for us to be someone else. Instead, he desires us to utilize our abilities and talents to further His kingdom and bring glory to Him. It is tempting to try to ‘keep up with the Joneses’ or to imitate someone well-known or famous, but then we would only be a shadow of someone else instead of the full radiance of ourselves. No one can take your place, and you cannot take anyone else’s place. Nor should you want to. As a unique imager of God, you have a special place within God’s kingdom. Therefore, always strive to be all you can be for God’s glory and let others do the same. God has already equipped you for whatever tasks He has called you to. He will see you through as He did with Joshua when he assumed leadership of the Hebrew nation.



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

Today’s quote is from Unknown, and it is: Although we cannot change the direction of the wind, we can adjust our sails.
Adjust Your Sails


It is very accurate that we cannot change the direction of the wind, no matter how ingenous we become as humankind. We have learned to use the wind to our advantage through windmills to pump water, generate electricity, and make vehicles of all types more aerodynamic. We have had to learn how to use the forces of nature created by God to allow us to flourish as the human race. Even in a tiny sailboat, you can use the wind to progress forward if you know how to adjust your sails properly. There are no excuses for giving up. It is up to you to learn how to take advantage of the headwinds of life. Even the smallest planes always take off into the wind to achieve the lift needed to become airborne. So the next time you have to face the wind or feel you have been dealt a bad hand in life, learn how to set your sail, or play your hand to your advantage. God provides us with many lessons about life, and it is up to us to learn the lessons He is teaching us. Once you understand the lessons, teach them to others.


https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%203%3A16andversion=NLT (2 Timothy 3:16)

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

Overcoming Suffering – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1962 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 Helen Keller, and it is: Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
Overcoming Suffering


As a result of sin in this world, we see all creation affected by it. There is suffering in nature, suffering in the animal kingdom, and suffering among humans. If we were to focus on the suffering, the earth would be a most unpleasant place to abide. But, even though humankind chose to rebel against their creator by God’s grace, we also know and understand that He provided grace to everything He created. All creation has much beauty, from the sun’s rising to its setting. There is beauty in the moonlight and the countless stars and galaxies in the sky. There is beauty in flowers and plants, which provide us with sweet smells and nourishment. There is beauty in the animal kingdom and, indeed, in humankind. In today’s world of advanced medicine and technologies, we have overcome much of the suffering experienced in the past. With technologies increasing ever more rapidly, what we see as suffering today may be resolved in the future. Even though illnesses and poverty are being lessened, the absolute cure for what we consider to be suffering is to be able to have peace amid suffering. That peace can only be found in Jesus Christ, who suffered and died for us so that we may have eternal life with God through Christ.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A18-25andversion=NLT (Romans 8:18-25)

Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

Today’s quote is from Helen Keller and it is: Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.
Stronger Together


Some people like working together with other people. In contrast, others enjoy doing everything alone, especially for themselves. I have to admit that I am in the latter group. For most activities, I would rather struggle to accomplish something by myself than have someone to assist me. However, I understand that, in most situations, if I would ask for assistance, it would allow the task to be completed in less time and probably safer. As I grow older and hopefully more mature, I see the increasing value in allowing others to assist me. There is undoubtedly a multiplying effect when we work together to accomplish tasks. Not only can we achieve more, but the quality of what we achieve will be more outstanding also. Let us not be too proud to ask others to assist us. Let us not be too proud to assist others that need us to help them. We need to work together while not being concerned who gets the credit. Our occupation as Christ-followers is to be building the kingdom of God. We can accomplish much more when we work together for God’s glory.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+3%3A5-9andversion=NLT (1 Corinthians 3:5-9)

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. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.

Dedicated Minority – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1960 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.

Hello, my friend; this is 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 Martin Luther King, Jr., and it is: Almost always, the creative, dedicated minority has made the world better.
Dedicated Minority


Like any culture and society at any time in history, most of the population would instead go with the flow rather than cause waves. So they wander around like sheep without a shepherd or follow along like lemmings. A more current analogy is that they are minions always doing what they think everyone else is. It is estimated that 10% of any group will rise to leadership positions, while the contented 90% would instead follow along. It takes the creative but dedicated minority to change the world and make a meaningful impact on the world around them. Significantly to change the world for good. So while it is ok to be part of the group and a team player when needed, look for ways to be creative and dedicated so that you can change your world for good.


https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Peter+1%3A10-11andversion=NLT (2 Peter 1:10-11)

So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Aggravation – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1959 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. 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 Ray Lammie, and it is: Almost all the aggravation we face daily is caused by other people. No one can aggravate us unless we internalize it. They do need our cooperation to succeed.
Aggravation


Living, working, or playing with others is challenging without becoming aggravated at some point. Some people will aggravate us more, some less. Even in the best of marriages, we will be aggravated at times. We will even aggravate ourselves, but when that happens, we usually take it out on others. The secret to minimizing or avoiding aggravation is not to internalize it. Every time we become aggravated with others, or even ourselves, it is because we choose to internalize that aggravation. Once we allow it to be planted within us, it may grow like a wildfire whipped up by the winds. We must choose not to fan the flames of aggravation that we have internalized. Instead, we must let it go. Unless it will cause us the loss of life or limb for us or others, it is just not worth the aggravation. I know it is not easy, but it may be easier than carrying the heavy burden that aggravation weighs down on us. Instead, fill your minds with good, godly, and worthwhile things.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+4%3A4-9andversion=NLT (Philippians 4:4-9)

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

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. 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 Earl Nightingale, and it is: All you have to do is know where you’re going. After that, the answers will come to you of their own accord.
Know Where You’re Going


If you plan on taking a trip, starting a new business venture, or any significant event, you must know where you are going before starting. Once you know your destination or endgame, you can lay the pieces in place that will allow you to reach your destination. As the saying goes, if you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there. That is certainly not ideal. How much better to determine your destination first because, after that, the answers will come to you, allowing you to plan the steps necessary to reach that destination. In our Christian walk, our end game is building God’s kingdom while we live life at home, at work, at church, and in all activities, we engage in. Let’s begin with the end in mind.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+4%3A25-27andversion=NLT (Proverbs 4:25-27)

Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path.
Don’t get sidetracked;
keep your feet from following evil.

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. 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 Bishop Fulton Sheen, and it is: All worry is atheism, because it is want of trust of God.
Worry Is Atheism


Let’s acknowledge that we all worry about people or situations we face. We worry about those things which we have no control over. Some people enjoy worrying because it becomes their sense of purpose in life. We must understand, though, that when we worry it is because we lack faith that God has everything under His control. Therefore, if we lack faith, it is against what God desires for us, which is atheism. As Christ-followers, we don’t think of ourselves as an atheist, but a lack of trust and faith and subsequently worry reveals that, at least in some areas of life, we are antithetical to God. While it may be impossible never to worry, since we are created beings, we should work toward minimizing any such worry in our lives. If God is the God of all creation, including we as His imagers, then worry should not preoccupy any space in our lives.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A25-34andversion=NLT (Matthew 6:25-34)

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

“And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1956 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. 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 Henry Benjamin Whipple, and it is: All we want in Christ, we shall find in Christ. If we want little, we shall find little. If we want much, we shall find much; but if, in utter helplessness, we cast our all on Christ, He will be to us the whole treasury of God.
The Whole Treasury of God


Our finite mind cannot comprehend the riches and fullness that we have in Christ. Our level of completeness is based on how much we desire to be like Him. By faith, we can cast ourselves fully on Him. The level we are willing to do so is the level of completeness and contentment we will receive. We are made complete with all the fullness of life and power that come from God through Christ. If we are lacking in life, it is not because Christ is lacking. We must be willing to cast our all on Christ in utter helplessness. It is then we will experience the whole treasury of God.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+3%3A14-21andversion=NLT (Ephesians 3:14-21)

When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

Welcome to Day 1955 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
People Of Good Conscience – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1954 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. 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 Thomas Jefferson, and it is: All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
People Of Good Conscience


Even with all of the stress, strife, and uneasiness throughout the world in the past few years, much good is also being created. The people of America particularly are fiercely independent. Independence is part of the DNA on which the country was founded. But in our quote today, we see that even one of the founding fathers understood how quickly tyranny would destroy a fledgling nation. That is why he warned us that there are times when people need to speak up for injustices that are forced on the masses while the few who are rich and powerful attempt to control. The issue we face today is that both those on the extreme left and extreme right feel they are being oppressed while the remaining masses are left wondering what is happening and when the madness will end. We see that this is not just in the United States but all over the world. So while we need to stand up and speak up for actual injustices that occur, as Christ-followers, we must look at it from an eternal perspective. As the worldwide church, our primary vocation is to build the Kingdom of God so His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So first, we must be praying for all who are in leadership and powerful positions that they will see their need to make decisions based on Biblical precepts found in His Word. Second, we need to unite as a global church and love each other as an example to the world. How can we expect strife to stop in our nations if the church cannot get along? Third, we must show our love to everyone in the world in word and deed, regardless of nationality, political persuasion, or moral bent. Let us, first love, and then we may have the opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with them. Showing God’s love is the best way to stand up to tyranny worldwide. This attitude may require sacrifice on our part but think of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on our behalf.


https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+13%3A34-35andversion=NLT (John 13:34-35)

So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
