Welcome to Day 1770 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Don't Lose Your Innocence – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on https://wisdom-trek.com/wisdom-trek-podcast/day-1770 (Day 1770) 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%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) says, "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 David Thoreau, and it is, “A man had better starve at once than lose his innocence in the process of getting his bread.” Don’t Lose Your Innocence Doing what is right and living a life of integrity is much more important than any riches or resources we can possibly obtain. Therefore, it is much better to do without, even if it is painful, than to compromise your integrity by going against God’s precepts found in His Word. There are few, if any, material things in life worth compromising your reputation. It may require that you step out in faith, knowing that it is God’s will, even if you need to sacrifice greatly, that He will provide. We should never do wrong, even if it seems that the results would be positive. The ends do not justify the means. Do what is right always, and long-term, you will live a rich and satisfying life. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Titus%202%3A11%2D13&version=NLT (Titus 2:11-13) For the grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.  And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God,  while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.
