Reason for Hope – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1946 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 Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and it is, "All that the downtrodden can do is go on hoping. After every disappointment, they must find fresh reason for hope."

Reason for Hope

Everyone experiences disappointments in life. Sometimes we are oppressed by others and looked down upon. These situations are not pleasant and can have us feeling downtrodden. As difficult as these situations are, no matter how great the disappointment, it is up to each of us to make a choice. We can choose to wallow in the filth and grime of oppression, or we can choose to find a fresh reason for hope. When we choose hope, our mindset changes, and we can pursue avenues that will allow us to return to solid ground. As a Christ-follower, hope, and faith are like twin siblings that support and encourage each other. Never let your hope or faith be extinguished.

Hebrews 11:1-3 Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. 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.
