This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Don't Look Down On Others \u2013 Daily Wisdom


Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1937 of our Trek, and it\u2019s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and 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 Zig Ziglar, and it is: All people want someone they can look up to, without that person looking down on them.
Don\u2019t Look Down On Others


Within our created nature, we desire to look up to people in positions of authority or garner our respect in some manner. We also desire to be loved and respected by others, even those we look up to. Since we are created to be God\u2019s imagers and take on the character traits of that perfect imager, Jesus Christ, we should copy what has been written about Him in God\u2019s Word. Jesus never looked down on others, even those who were the lowest in their societal rankings. On the contrary, Jesus often condemned those in positions of authority and power for abusing their positions and thinking more highly of themselves than they did of others, including God. Yes, it is ok to look up to and respect others, but as you have an opportunity to be loved and respected, make sure you show that same love and respect from those who may have a lower standing in society.



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2%3A3-11andversion=NLT (Philippians 2:3-11)

Don\u2019t be selfish; don\u2019t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don\u2019t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Though he was God,
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal\u2019s death on a cross.

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

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 \u2018Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.\u2019
