Ready for Action – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1900 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. 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 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and it is, “Action springs not so much from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.”

Ready for Action

Preparation is always the key to successful action. Intellectually, you may need to plan, but mental planning must evolve into physical preparation, which will develop into action when the opportunity comes knocking at your door. If you are not ready and responsible, you may never even recognize the opportunity when it does arrive. Success in any area of life is that place in the road where preparation meets opportunity. You must be prepared and responsible for taking action.

James 1:23-25 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
