Wiser Today – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1784 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 Alexander Pope, and it is: A person should never be ashamed to admit that they are in the wrong, which is but saying they are wiser today than they were yesterday.
Wiser Today


We will all make mistakes and be wrong about many things in our life. Unfortunately, too many times, we are reluctant to admit our mistakes and wrongdoings. It is a pride issue where we do not want other people to find out that we may have flaws or act incorrectly. However, we have to realize that others will most likely know already, and all we are doing by attempting to hide it is making ourselves look even more foolish. So let us be quick to admit our mistakes and failures when they happen. Errors and losses are not only unavoidable; they are a prime source of wisdom from the lessons we can learn from them. When we are wrong about something, it provides us with an automatic lesson on how to improve. Never waste an opportunity to learn. Take every setup and obstacle in your path as the lessons they are. Never be too proud to admit your mistakes and errors, you will be wiser if you just learn from them.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+3%3A17-18andversion=NLT (James 3:17-18)

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.

Prayer Is Listening – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1783 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 Soren Kierkegaard, and it is: A man prayed, and at first, he thought that prayer was talking. But he became more and more quiet until, in the end, he realized that prayer is listening
Prayer Is Listening


So often, when we pray, we are so focused on telling God what we desire we miss that God is also communicating with us through His indwelling Holy Spirit. As part of prayer, it would do each of us a world of good if we would pause from our ceaseless ramblings and allow God to speak to us through prayer and His Word. A time for reflective meditation should become part of the process. Just as with breathing, it takes both breathing in and breathing out for you to live. So it should be with prayer. As we pray for ourselves and others, we need to breathe our prayers out, followed by breathing in of God’s presence. Prayer is not a one-way street where we do all the talking, and God just listens. It is a dialog, and as with most dialogs, it will be much richer the more we remain silent and just listen.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A5-14andversion=NLT (Matthew 6:5-14)

“When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

“When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8 Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Pray like this:

Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need,
and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.

“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Live By Acting – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1782 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 Carlos Casteneda, and it is: A person of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting
Live By Acting


Thinking and planning are necessary steps to accomplish anything worthwhile, but unless you take action, all the thinking and planning in the world will be worthless. Therefore, action is required to achieve anything in life. I have known a few people throughout my life that love to plan but find it challenging to move from the planning stage to taking action. These persons are always getting ready to get ready, but the execution of a plan rarely happens. Many times this stems from a perfectionist mentality. If something cannot be done perfectly, this type of person never moves beyond the dream. They need to learn that imperfect action is much better than perfect inaction. Knowledge overflows by imperfect action. Not only will things be accomplished, but the lessons learned from the mistakes made will provide an abundance of knowledge that would be difficult to obtain otherwise. So move boldly forward, even if you don’t see all the steps of the plan. To get through the most arduous journey, we need to take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping.



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

Get up, for it is your duty to tell us how to proceed in setting things straight. We are behind you, so be strong and take action.”

Portals of Discovery – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1781 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 James Joyce, and it is: A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.
Portals Of Discovery


Most of the time, we do not make mistakes on purpose, but a person of genius realizes that mistakes are part of life as if we did make them of our own volition. Knowing that mistakes will happen, instead of allowing them to derail or destroy us or our plans, mistakes or errors provide us with an opportunity to learn and to discover why something didn’t work out as planned. Once we peer through that discovery portal, we can begin with the added knowledge that we learned from our mistakes. So never allow mistakes and failures to stop your progress. Instead, let them be the stepping stones required to continue towards your pursuits. It is then that you are a person of genius.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+3%3A17-18andversion=NLT (James 3:17-18)

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace-loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds.

Realize Your Potential – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1780 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 Charles De Gaulle, and it is: A person of character finds a special attractiveness in difficulty, since it is only by coming to grips with difficulty that you can realize your potential.
Realize Your Potential


For most of us, we do not comprehend our true potential until the trials of life test us. However, if we take time to bask in the results of those trials, they will become attractive to us, and as such, we will not be discouraged or quit when difficulty knocks on our door. When we recognize that problems can help and improve us as a person, and we come to grips with that fact, we can be prepared to face those difficult times. So, while you are going about your daily trek of life and the trail becomes steep and troublesome, realize that you will see the benefits of those difficult times when you finally reach the summit. We can take comfort in realizing our potential and that God is traveling with us each step of the way. So, don’t give up or be discouraged, instead be happy that you are becoming a better representative of God’s image.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%201%3A6andversion=NLT (Philippians 1:6)

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Admit Your Mistakes – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1779 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 Maxwell, and it is: A person must be big enough to admit their mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
Admit Your Mistakes


There are a lot of people who do not want to take responsibility for the mistakes they make. Instead, they would rather play the victim card and blame someone or something else for the mistakes or errors they make in life. We should not be that way. Before God and our fellow humans, we need to accept complete responsibility for mistakes, errors in judgment, and sins that crop up in our lives. We need to humbly admit them to others, learn the lessons gained from those mistakes, and then have the fortitude to correct the issues, so we do not repeat those same mistakes. It does take a confident yet humble person to own up to our flaws so that we can grow beyond them. Our confidence comes from our standing before God, knowing that we are utilizing our God-given talents and abilities to do the best we can. When we realize that we have fallen short, we need to take the lessons learned and do even better the next time. In all things, let us give God the glory for all He has accomplished in our lives.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204%3A10andversion=NLT (James 4:10)

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.

Hungry For God – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1778 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 Leonard Ravenhill, and it is: A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.
Hungry For God


We all have cravings in life. Most of us have cravings for food, success, and recognition, and we will do practically anything to obtain them. However, some people also have a hunger for knowledge and will consume books and teachings. This hunger is because our brains are created to learn and absorb untold amounts of knowledge, including knowledge of God and His Word. Learning can be excellent, and if appropriately applied, very beneficial to our world. However, there is one hunger that will never be satisfied by knowledge alone. That is the hunger of the soul. We may learn Biblical truths, but it will create a longing in our soul that can only be satisfied when we communion with God through prayer. So satisfy your hunger for God by continually going to him in prayer.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205%3A6andversion=NLT (Matthew 5:6)

God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.

The Footprints You Leave – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1777 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 Margaret Lee Runbeck, and it is: A person leaves all kinds of footprints when they walk through life. Some you can see...others are invisible, like the prints they leave across other people’s lives.
The Footprints You Leave


This quote is impactful and accurate. We all leave footprints in life, both literally but more critically, figuratively. Your impact on the lives of other people cannot be taken for granted, nor can it be minimized. That impact echoes throughout all of eternity, from generation to generation. It is your only true legacy on others. That is so much more important than any material resources that you may leave for others. We must be aware of our daily treading on the lives of others. Make sure that the imprints that we are leaving on those lives are positive and encouraging. As you walk through life, walk humbly and circumspectly. Be aware of the tremendous responsibility towards others, especially those closest to you, such as friends and family members. How you walk will many times determine how others walk. Just like a child walking attempting to walk in their parent's footsteps, you impact others who walk into and out of your life.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+5%3A15-20andversion=NLT (Ephesians 5:15-20)

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What Are You Known For? – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1776 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 Unknown, and it is: A man is not only known by the company he keeps, but by the enemies he makes.
What Are You Known For?


We can be known for a lot of different things in our lives. Such as what we do as an occupation or what church or clubs we associate with. One of the primary ways we are known is by the people we associate with or don’t associate with. Those that we keep company with and invest a lot of time with will largely determine how we act and the activities we are involved in. Those people will either be positively or negatively impact our lives. Others will judge us, either fairly or unfairly, by the company that we keep. They will also judge us by those who are considered our enemies. Especially in today’s politically charged environment, we have lost a lot of civilities where we no longer feel we can agree to disagree and remain civil with others. So we need to be careful of both who we associate with and those we consider to be enemies. My mom used to tell us that if you sleep with dogs, don’t be surprised when you wake up with fleas. This saying is so true; you will be known for the company you keep and the company you don’t keep. Choose wisely.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015%3A33andversion=NLT (1 Corinthians 15:33)

Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.”

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 Barrymore, and it is: A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
Not Old


It doesn’t matter your biological age; you can still be young and vibrant as long as you hold onto your dreams. Your age is just a number, and until you start regretting what you have done or feel that you are too old to reach your dreams, you will still have a youthful disposition and outlook on life that no one can pluck from your hand. So dream big and then take action to reach those dreams. Always Do Your Best. Your best will change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret. We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment. I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end. The past is a great place, and I don’t want to erase it or regret it, but I don’t want to be its prisoner either. So regardless of the past, leave it there. Press forward to become all that God intended you to be.



Luke 9:57-62

As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”

But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”

He said to another person, “Come, follow me.”

The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”

But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.”

Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.”

But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”

As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
