Welcome to Day 1860 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
A Truly Good Book \u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1860 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. 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\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 Florence Allshorn, and it is: A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
A Truly Good Book


Have you ever been reading an enthralling book that is so difficult that hours will go by without you realizing it? It is as if you were one of the characters in that book, living in their place and time. I enjoy such books, whether it is fiction or non-fiction. Movies can be the same way, and I tend to be more fascinated with movies or books based on actual events. In recent years, I have switched over almost entirely to audiobooks to listen to them while working outside or doing a myriad of other tasks. I especially enjoy the Sy-Fy genre based in space. I imagine myself being ported off to galaxys unknown and far away. Books and movies allow us to be transported into other people\u2019s lives and worlds. Books that stir us to be better, live better, encourage, care for, and love others more profoundly go beyond just reading. It moves us to act on what we have read. Being moved to change does not result in change unless we choose to change. There is one book, often referred to as \u2018The Good Book,\u2019 which is a collection of books, letters, and poems; the Bible should radically change us to the point where we are no longer satisfied with just reading it, but to live according to its precepts. It should motivate us to live so that others will see our lives and know that we have been changed from the inside out.

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again\u2014rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

Don\u2019t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God\u2019s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me\u2014everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

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
