Earthly Goals for Heavenly Gains – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1874 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. Proverbs 16:16 says, "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 Wisdom_Trek, and it is, "A wise person sets his earthly goals on heavenly gains."
Earthly Goals for Heavenly Gains

Do you desire to be extremely wise throughout your life? You can tell a person’s depth of wisdom based on their goal for themselves and their life. For example, wisdom may lack if a person’s goals are primarily focused on obtaining things. On the other hand, if a person’s goals are on establishing and maintaining strong relationships and making an eternal impact on the lives of others, then the depth of wisdom is substantial. Furthermore, since our occupation in life is to be building God’s kingdom, then a wise person will have his focus on heavenly gains.

A person is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. All that we possess and our talents and abilities are given to us by God, and we are stewards of them. Don’t miss the point, though, that we are to be wise stewards of all the blessings provided.  So set your goal high, and with wisdom, those goals will point heavenward.

Colossians 3:1-4

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

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 our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
