Welcome to Day 1663 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomLooking Forward – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. 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 C.S. Lewis, and it is: A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
Looking Forward
I have to admit; I am future-oriented in my outlook on life. The past and the present do not strongly influence what I anticipate will happen in the future. I am optimistic but pragmatic. While I don’t look at the future through rose-colored glasses, I tend to reframe any situation in my life positively. I realize that others view the future based on their experiences of the past. Still, others view the future on what is happening in the present. Regardless of which perspective you view life, as Christ-followers, we often reframe our past and current circumstances based on what we perceive heaven or eternity to be like. In that manner, Christ-followers at times do minimize their responsibilities that we have on earth. We do need to fulfill our purpose in building God’s kingdom while we dwell on the earth, but we can never take our eyes off the prize before us, which is eternity. Sometimes this will cause us to conflict with our focus in life. We desire eternity, but yet we still have work to do while we are alive. So while we can look eagerly towards eternity, we must remain steadfast in our devotion and service to God. This is how the Apostle Paul put it in his letter to the Philippians.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+1%3A20-24andversion=NLT (Philippians 1:20-24)
For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live.

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.

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 St. John Chrysostom, and it is: A comprehended god is no god.
Understanding God
We not only think we know who God is, but many times, we try to set ourselves up as God. Instead of realizing that we are created an imager of God, we try to make God in our image. We are invited to know God, and this is accomplished by knowing His Word and following His precepts found in His Word. We are responsible for the revelation that God has provided to us, but there is so much that we will not understand, and that is ok. By faith, we believe, even when we may not fully comprehend God and his plan for the world and each of us individually. So it has been since the creation of humankind, we walk by faith, not by sight. Unlike those from the time of creation through when God came to earth through the incarnation of Jesus Christ, we do have God’s complete revelation to humans, which is His Word. God’s Word contains all that He chose to reveal to us, but we still have much we do not know about God, His ways, and how He works. Our focus needs to be on building God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. We aim to restore Eden, where God, His divine creatures, and humankind will dwell together as we serve Him.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+55%3A8-9andversion=NLT (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.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%202%3A9andversion=NLT (1 Corinthians 2:9)
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.”

Welcome to Day 1661 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Competent Leader – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. 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! We are on Day 1661 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. 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 J. Pershing, and it is: A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops; an incapable leader can demoralize the best of troops.
A Competent Leader
Every person is a leader of others, at least in some area of life. You may be a Dad or Mom, Aunt or Uncle, a teacher, a manager, a pastor, or an officer in the armed service. Regardless of who you impact, it would be best to strive to be competent in that area of life. When you are competent in a particular area of life, even if those you lead are not very good or qualified, you can still obtain good service from those you lead. Otherwise, it will frustrate and demoralize those you are attempting to teach if you are incapable of your leadership. You may need to train yourself to be a better, more competent leader. If that is the case, by all means, obtain the training that you need. Don’t try to bluff your way through leading others. You will lose the respect and admiration of others. Do whatever is necessary to be more competent in all areas of life, especially in those areas where God has gifted you. You will know when you see a person who is a good leader. An example of a good leader in the church is described in:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+3%3A1-7andversion=NLT (1 Timothy 3:1-7)
This is a trustworthy saying: “If someone aspires to be a church leader, he desires an honorable position.” So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. He must not be a heavy drinker or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money. He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him. For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church? A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall. Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the devil’s trap.

Welcome to Day 1659 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomClose Your Mouth – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps.

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 Anonymous, and it is: A closed mouth gathers no foot.
Close Your Mouth
We all have an issue with talking too much, talking when it isn’t appropriate, and saying things that are not kind to others. Our mouth can get us into all sorts of trouble. It could be with your spouse, with a friend, with a work associate, or in a multitude of other situations. Why do we feel so compelled to spew out words when it would be much better if we just kept our mouth shut most of the time? When we talk too much, and too often, it won’t take too long before we say something that is inappropriate or that others don’t need or want to hear. I know this doesn’t sound pleasant, but I refer to this as verbal diarrhea because when your spew words too quickly, it is repulsive to others. It would do us well if we just listen to what others are saying and determine their real needs and concerns. Once we listen with intention, then be very careful in providing your wisdom and advice. There is a vacuum in our society for people who are good listeners. It takes practice before listening with intention becomes a practice. When you are speaking, it is impossible to listen at the same time. For humankind, there are a plethora of verses that caution us about opening our mouth and talking when we should keep our mouth closed and listen.

Here are just a few.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201%3A19andversion=NLT (James 1:19) Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+10%3A19andversion=NLT (Proverbs 10:19) Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2017%3A28andversion=NLT (Proverbs 17:28) Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2017%3A27andversion=NLT (Proverbs 17:27) A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered.

Welcome to Day 1658 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Clear Vision – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-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! We are on Day 1658 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. 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 Brian Tracy, and it is: A clear vision, backed by definite plans, gives you a tremendous feeling of confidence and personal power.
A Clear Vision
I have known and continue to see individuals who lack the confidence and personal power to succeed in various areas of life. This lack of confidence, many times, will be the result of lacking a clear vision of what a person desires in life. If there is no vision, then there can be no definitive plans made for the future. It requires both. Vision without a plan is just a hallucination. You may see the vision, but it will never become a reality unless you design a plan and take action.
On the other hand, a plan without a vision is just drudgery. But a vision with a plan that is then put into action can change the world. To put it in a slightly different light, action without thought is impulsiveness. Thought without action is procrastination. When impulsiveness is unwanted, the message seems to be this: think – that is, reflect at a deeper level – before acting. The opposite of strategic thinking might be mindlessness.

Once you have confidence and power, you will be successful in whatever areas of life you desire. When others see confidence in you, they are willing to trust and follow you, giving you the power to carry on and make a positive impact on others for God’s kingdom.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A3andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:3)
Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2020%3A18andversion=NLT (Proverbs 20:18)
Plans succeed through good counsel; don’t go to war without wise advice.

Welcome to Day 1657 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomTruth Abandoned – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-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: https://feeds.captivate.fm/wisdomtrek/
Today’s quote is from Hans Kung, and it is: A Church which abandons the truth abandons itself.
Truth Abandoned
When most of us think of church, we think of a particular church building or possibly a denomination. If this is the case, then we don’t have the correct mindset. The church is made up of everyone who has placed believing loyalty in the work of Jesus Christ. Christ is truth, so if you individually, a local gathering of believers, or the church universal abandons the truth, it abandons its very essence. We hear of believers deconstructing their faith which is essentially abandoning the truth. We hear of local congregations adopting our modern culture even if it is contrary to the precepts found in God’s Word, which is also an abandonment of the truth. God is the author of all truth, and Jesus told his disciple Thomas in https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014%3A6andversion=NLT (John 14:6) Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
There can be no truth apart from God and His son. Our modern culture seeks truth, but they seek it in all the wrong places. The culture will never be satisfied until they turn to God. Yes, Jesus, God in human form, came to establish His kingdom on earth, but it was not that kingdom that everyone thought He would develop. The local official Pilate specifically asked Jesus if he was a king. Unfortunately, Pilate abandoned the truth also. May we, as God’s church, never fall prey to this exact situation.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+18%3A35-38andversion=NLT (John 18:35-38)
Am I a Jew?” Pilate retorted. “Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?”
Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”
Pilate said, “So you are a king?”
Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
“What is truth?” Pilate asked. Then he went out again to the people and told them, “He is not guilty of any crime.”

Welcome to Day 1656 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomChristian Enthusiasm – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-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! We are on Day 1656 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. 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 Croft M. Pentz, and it is: A Christian will not amount to much unless there is enthusiasm in his Christianity.
Christian Enthusiasm
We can become enthusiastic about many things and events in life. What about your life as a disciple of Christ? Are you passionate about being a citizen of God’s Kingdom? If we want to impact the lives of others for the cause of Christ, then we need to show a little enthusiasm. I do not have, by nature, an overall bubbly personality. I am somewhat reserved, but that does not equate to a lack of confidence and excitement in my daily trek of life. With a tremendous internal passion, I desire to see the kingdom of God advance throughout the world. This inner drive and enthusiasm drives me on to produce this podcast five days a week. To publish encouraging scripture verses twice each day. To take on the additional responsibilities of speaking at our church regularly. It should be the same in your life. If you wish to be effective in your Christain walk, you need to be enthusiastic about your calling and destiny. Your walk does not have to be an exciting external show of enthusiasm, but it may be the gentle spirit of encouragement and kindness to others in which you wish to share God’s kingdom.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015%3A57%2D58andversion=NLT (1 Corinthians 15:57-58)
But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
