Welcome to Day 1880 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Overcoming Self – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1880 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. 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’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from St. Francis of Assisi, and it is: Above all, the grace and gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.
Overcoming Self


I am sure all of us know someone full of themselves; maybe it is the person staring back at you in the mirror. We are created as imagers of God, and as a child of the king, there is no reason for us to think of ourselves as trash. We are God’s masterpiece and have been fearfully and wonderfully made, but that is not something we have done, but what God has done for us. We also must realize that we have been crucified with Christ, and the life we now live, we live by faith in the one who loved us and gave himself for us. So we should not be full of ourselves but full of God’s Spirit that dwells within us. If we are indeed full of the spirit, then our lives will reflect the fruit of the Spirit as found in https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=galatians+5%3A22-23andversion=NLT (Galatians 5:22-23.) But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.

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 ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
