Adversity Strengthens \u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1947 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 Walt Disney, and it is: All the adversity I\u2019ve had in my life, has strengthened me. You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Adversity Strengthens
I don\u2019t believe I know anyone who actively seeks out adversity, nor do we like it when it hits us personally. But hardship in nearly every situation positively impacts our lives; if we are willing to learn the lessons, it teaches us. If history is also our teacher, we can look back at successful people of all ages and in all areas of success, and we will discover that those who succeed the greatest also had some of the greatest struggles. So don\u2019t stress when life is difficult. Instead, learn the lessons that are taught, and continue forward. Yes, a kick in the teeth or a swift kick in the backside may indeed be the best thing in the world for you. The Bible refers to this as the refining fire that burns off the dross so that we will be as pure gold.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah%2013%3A9andversion=NLT (Zechariah 13:9)
I will bring that group through the fire and make them pure. I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, \u2018These are my people,\u2019 and they will say, \u2018The Lord is our God.\u2019\u201d
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
