Your Choices Make You – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1976 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 Brian Mertens, and it is, "Always remember that in life, you make choices, and then those choices make you."

Your Choices Make You

We all must make choices every day. Even putting off making a choice is a choice to delay. Yet, every choice that we make has consequences. Those consequences determine who we are as people. You are free to make choices, but once made, you are not free from the consequences of those choices. This truth is embedded in the law of planting and harvesting. What you plant are the choices that you make. What you harvest is the consequences of those previously made choices. You cannot escape the results any more than you can escape the law of gravity. There is a saying, “What goes up must come down.” Since we cannot avoid making many choices each day, we must be wise in our choices. The only way to gain wisdom is to fill your mind with God’s precepts found in His Word. Then, your choices will result in positive and helpful outcomes as you gain more wisdom. Since your choices determine who you are. Choose wisely. Romans 6:15-18 Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living. 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.
