Welcome to Day 1941 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Public Speaking \u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1941 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 Roger Love, and it is: All speaking is public speaking, whether it\u2019s to one person or a thousand.
Public Speaking
It has been said that many people are more afraid of speaking in public than death itself. When you think about it, though, we all speak in public. The only difference is the number of people we are speaking to. Although I get a little nervous when speaking in public, especially if it is a very large group, I find it easier to speak before an entire room full of people than to start a conversation one-on-one. Although most people probably don\u2019t realize it, I am a shy person. It is challenging to be in a situation where I am expected to start or carry on a conversation with people I don\u2019t know very well. I have to force myself outside of my comfort zone when needed because I understand that it may be an opportunity to meet someone\u2019s needs and build God\u2019s kingdom. This past year, I have had the privilege to be the primary teaching pastor at our small local church, providing many opportunities to learn God\u2019s Word and hone my public speaking craft. As with anything you attempt in life, it takes practice, perseverance, and a desire to become all God intended for you. So whether you have to speak to two, two hundred, or two thousand people, do it all for the glory of God. He will give you the grace and strength to do so.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A14-17andversion=NLT (Romans 8:14-17)
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God\u2019s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, \u201cAbba, Father.\u201d For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God\u2019s children. 17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God\u2019s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.
