We are on Day 1734 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 C. Maxwell, and it is: A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
Show The Way
Each of us is a leader in some area of life. The question is, how effective is your leadership? There are various leadership methods, and specific techniques have proven to be much more effective than others. An effective leader practices the three attributes which are mentioned in today’s quote. First, a leader must know what the objectives and outcomes are for every specific project or tasks. Second, an effective leader will go along with their group or team, not just send them out on their own. Third, an effective leader will also show the way the team or group must go. Finally, a leader will also set an example for their team and be an example. Excellent and effective leadership requires all three aspects. How are your leadership skills?

Welcome to Day 1733 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomInspired By Achievement – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1733 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 Ralph Lauren, and it is: When a leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He then inspires the power and energy to get it done.
Inspired By Achievement
Depending on the situation or circumstance, we are either leaders or followers. When we have the opportunity to lead, we must lead well. A dream requires a vision and conviction that you can achieve what you set out to do. When your followers see that vision and conviction, they will also believe that it is possible. As a result, your followers will be inspired with power and energy to accomplish the tasks set before them. In the other situation, where you are a follower, look to the leader to show you the vision and conviction needed to complete the dream ahead of you and follow well.
We need to understand that our gifts of leadership or the talent of being a support person come from God. We are responsible to God for how we utilize these gifts. Use them wisely.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12%3A6-8andversion=NLT (Romans 12:6-8)
In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.

Welcome to Day 1732 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomBible Knowledge – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1732 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 Billy Graham, and it is: A knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life.
Bible Knowledge
Billy Graham was undoubtedly the most influential evangelist of our modern age, with his active ministry spanning over 60 years. His knowledge of the Bible was extensive. So it should be with us. Knowing God’s Word is essential to be able to live by its precepts that are found within. The more extensively we understand the Scriptures from the perspective of its original authors and the culture in which they lived, the more we can understand what God desires of us as His imagers. We need to let the Bible be what it is. While it can teach us about nature and science, that is not its primary purpose. While it can teach us some history, it is not primarily a history book.
I’m suggesting that the path to accurate biblical understanding requires that we don’t make the Bible conform to our traditions, prejudices, personal crises, or our culture’s intellectual battles. Yes, you’ll find material in Scripture that will help you resolve personal difficulties and questions. But you must remember that, while the Bible was written for us, it wasn’t written to us. What the authors wrote is still vital for our lives today, but we can only accurately discern the message if we let them speak as they spoke.
The point is that letting the Bible be what it is not only helps us interpret Scripture accurately, but it has incredible apologetic value. Taking Scripture on its own terms helps our focus and fends off distractions. When Scripture is rightly understood, its relevance will also be clear.
As Billy Graham said: A knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life.

Jesus put it this way:
John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
