True Knowledge – 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 John Calvin, and it is: All true knowledge of God is born out of obedience.
True Knowledge


I believe an innate desire of most people is to know God, even if they don’t acknowledge Him as the creator of all things. No matter who we are or our background, we desire to understand why we are here on earth and our purpose in life. Knowledge outside of our obedience to God will always leave us wanting. The primary way we know what obedience to God consists of is to study and learn His Word. We are so blessed in the world today, where we have dozens of different versions available in nearly every language on earth at a price that is affordable to nearly everyone. Electronic versions of the Bible are free, and many organizations worldwide distribute part or all of the Bible for free. True knowledge is born out of our obedience to God. Obedience to God is learned through reading and learning from His Word. There is no excuse for anyone who seeks to know.



https://www.bible.com/bible/116/psa.119.11 (Psalms 119:11)

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Difficult Before Easy – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1953 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 John Norley, and it is: All things are difficult before they are easy.
Difficult Before Easy


All of us would like to live on easy street, but many steps are required before you can do that. First, you have to map out where the street should go. Second, you must have the resources needed to procure the land where the street will be. Third, you must plow up the dirt to prepare a proper roadbed. Fourth, you must ensure that the roadbed is level and solid enough to be a road. Fifth, you must purchase the asphalt or cement needed to provide a lasting surface on the road. Six, you must put up the appropriate guardrails and signs to make the road as safe as possible. So the next time you desire to live on easy street, make sure you are willing to make the needed sacrifices to make it possible. Then, when you are ready, forge forward, and don’t let any obstacles dissuade you.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2010%3A4andversion=NLT (Proverbs 10:4)

Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich.

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps.

Today’s quote is from Harvey Mackay, and it is: All the technology in the world will never replace a positive attitude.
A Positive Attitude


I have loved technological changes since I was a young boy, and it still is strong today as I am quickly approaching my 66th of life. I read up on all the technological advancements daily and am excited about the breakthroughs in science, medicine, surgery, transportation, communications, and computing power. The changes will have a significant positive impact on societies around the world. That being said, technology will never replace the power of a positive attitude in its ability to make a positive impact across the globe. Technology can help us to do everything better, cheaper, and faster, but it takes a positive attitude to drive the technology to make it happen. We should use all the technology available to us to positively impact our world as we build the kingdom of God. The technology must be coupled with a positive attitude for it to be most effective.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians+3%3A23-24andversion=NLT (Colossians 3:23-24)

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.

Death of Self – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1951 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.

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 Madame Guyon, and it is: All the graces of a Christian spring from the death of self.
Death Of Self


The core premise of our Christian faith is that Jesus Christ was willing to become our atoning sacrifice and die on the cross so that we would be acceptable to be in God’s presence. As Christ-followers, we are to have the same attitude. Therefore, we must die to ourselves to take on the same attitude that Jesus had and show Jesus Christ to everyone we come in contact with. Furthermore, we must be willing to love others in such a manner that we are eager to figuratively take up the cross of Christ and sacrifice ourselves for the goodwill of others. In this manner, we will display the grace that has been poured out on us and become willing to pour the same grace on others. Others will see our love and mercy for them when we do this.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+9%3A23-27andversion=NLT (Luke 9:23-27)

Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Kingdom of God.”

Seeds of Today – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1950 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 Indian Proverb, and it is: All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.
Seeds of Today


No crops provide nourishment; none of the beautiful flowers we enjoy looking at and smelling suddenly appear out of thin air. Instead, they all start with a seed that when germinated will grow into a plant and provide beautiful flowers, green vegetables, delicious fruits, and savory nuts. Although contained within those end products also contain dozens of additional seeds to propagate themselves for years to come. Through this, the cycle of life continues for generations. As imagers of our creator, we also contain within us the seeds, when germinated, will propagate throughout all eternity. In each of these examples, we often fail to understand that the seed in its original form must die to bring new life, which leads to each new generation. Only humans will continue through all eternity through physical propagation and spiritual children as we assist others in coming into the kingdom of God. Let us be the seeds of tomorrow in all that we do.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2012%3A23%2D25andversion=NLT (John 12:23-25)

Jesus replied, “Now the time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity.

Bad Ideas – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1949 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 Seth Godin, and it is: All the creativity in the world won’t help if you’re unwilling to have lousy, lame, even bad ideas.
Bad Ideas


Voltaire is credited with the saying: ‘Perfect is the Enemy of Good,’ and this is so true. However, we also know that while we will never be perfect, we can always be making progress. Unless you are willing to fail at times, maybe lots of times, you will never achieve success. Not all of our ideas will be great. Most of them will be lousy, lame, and even bad, but don’t let that stop you from coming up with more ideas. Let those ideas that are not so great foster more creativity to spur on great ideas. The ratio of bad ideas to great ideas will be very high, but you can succeed with only a tiny segment of ideas worth pursuing. So keep moving forward and let the creativity flow from you while there are opportunities. As the farmers say, “You got to make hay while the sun shines.”



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+9%3A4-5andversion=NLT (John 9:4-5)

We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.”

Today’s quote is from James R. Lowell, and it is: All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
Lovely Action


We have all heard, “It’s the thought that counts.” While it is good to have thought of some kind or nice action we should do for someone else, it will never take the place of actually doing something friendly, kind, or encouraging for someone else. Let us not fool ourselves into thinking that just praying for someone or thinking of someone is enough when we have the capacity and ability to assist someone. Yes, praying for others is commanded and encouraged in the Bible, and we should always be in prayer for our family, friends, and even enemies. We should be willing to do good as often as we have an opportunity, especially fellow Christ-followers. Taking action is always better than just our thoughts and prayers.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians%206%3A10andversion=NLT (Galatians 6:10)

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.

Adversity Strengthens – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1947 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 Walt Disney, and it is: All the adversity I’ve had in my life, has strengthened me. You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Adversity Strengthens


I don’t believe I know anyone who actively seeks out adversity, nor do we like it when it hits us personally. But hardship in nearly every situation positively impacts our lives; if we are willing to learn the lessons, it teaches us. If history is also our teacher, we can look back at successful people of all ages and in all areas of success, and we will discover that those who succeed the greatest also had some of the greatest struggles. So don’t stress when life is difficult. Instead, learn the lessons that are taught, and continue forward. Yes, a kick in the teeth or a swift kick in the backside may indeed be the best thing in the world for you. The Bible refers to this as the refining fire that burns off the dross so that we will be as pure gold.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah%2013%3A9andversion=NLT (Zechariah 13:9)

I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘These are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

Reason For Hope – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1946 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 Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and it is: All that the downtrodden can do is go on hoping. After every disappointment, they must find fresh reason for hope.
Reason For Hope


Everyone experiences disappointments in life. Sometimes we are oppressed by others and looked down upon. These situations are not pleasant and can have us feeling downtrodden. As difficult as these situations are, no matter how great the disappointment, it is up to each of us to make a choice. We can choose to waller in the filth and grime of oppression, or we can choose to find a fresh reason for hope. When we choose hope, our mindset changes, and we can pursue avenues that will allow us to return to solid ground. As a Christ-follower, hope, and faith are like twin siblings that support and encourage each other. Never let your hope or faith be extinguished.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+11%3A1-3andversion=NLT (Hebrews 11:1-3)

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

All That Is Eternal – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1945 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 C.S. Lewis, and it is: All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.
All That Is Eternal


As finite beings, getting our minds around the concept of eternity is difficult, but that doesn’t make it any less true. We are created as God’s imagers, so we have a definitive starting point but no expiration date. We will live eternally either abiding with God if we choose to accept Him, or eternally separated from God if we reject Him. That is why our everyday lives must impact people for eternity. While we cannot take our riches or material resources with us when we die, we can impact all of eternity by assisting those seeking to become citizens of God’s kingdom. What we say to others, how we treat others, and how we conduct our daily lives is the strongest motivating factor in people seeing that we are ambassadors for Christ because we accepted His work on the cross. Those we impact for eternity can be our children, grandchildren, other family members, and those we work with or socialize with. We have no clue how wonderful eternity will be, but we no it will be awesome. So impact eternity today. Otherwise, you will be out of date and have missed an opportunity to build God’s kingdom.

But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”

But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.
