Earthly Delights – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1922 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 Jonathan Edwards, and it is, “All earthly delights are but streams. But God is the ocean.”

Earthly Delights

God has blessed us as His imagers with many wonderful delights while we continue building His kingdom on earth. But unfortunately, we become so enamored with our earthly riches and the beauty we have all around us that we forget that they are just a little foretaste of the divine glory that God has stored up for us. Of course, we should enjoy all the riches and blessings we have now, but we should never become so consumed with them that we miss the blessing from heaven that God will pour out to us if we remain faithful to His calling. What God has given us now is just a bubbling brook compared to the ocean of goodness and blessing we will receive when we join him in glory.

1 Corinthians 2:6-12 Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten. No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. 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.” But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another...
