Welcome to Day 1752 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomKnowledge That Acts \u2013 Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1752 of our Trek, and it\u2019s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today\u2019s 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\u2019s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) 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\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s nugget:
Today\u2019s quote is from Kahlil Gibran, and it is: A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.
Knowledge That Acts
In our current message series at church, we are studying the letter from James, which is closely related to this quote. Our theme for the series is \u201dFaith is Work in Action.\u201d If we have knowledge that we should act on and do not take action, our knowledge is worthless. We are not to be idle in our lives but use the wisdom and knowledge provided by God to take action towards building His kingdom. God does not expect us just to accumulate knowledge but to assist those who are in need when we can help. However, as Christ-followers and citizens of God\u2019s kingdom, we have responsibilities to use the little knowledge we have and multiply it through our actions. That is true value. Knowledge with no action is idleness, and there is no value in idleness. In the letter of James, he focuses on this concept, except he uses the word faith instead of knowledge. In this situation, they are indeed similar.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A14-20andversion=NLT (James 2:14-20)
What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don\u2019t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, \u201cGood-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well\u201d\u2014but then you don\u2019t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
So you see, faith by itself isn\u2019t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
Now someone may argue, \u201cSome people have faith; others have good deeds.\u201d But I say, \u201cHow can you show me your faith if you don\u2019t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.\u201d
You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. How foolish! Can\u2019t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?
As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of \u2018Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.\u2019
