Welcome to Day 1709 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Good Name – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1709 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. 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 Proverbs 22:1, and it is: A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
A Good Name
The book of Proverbs is packed with nuggets of wisdom. I know I have mentioned it several times in the past, but I can’t help but emphasize that you should invest time each day to read a few verses or a chapter in Proverbs. Today's quote emphasizes what is most desirable in life, even more desirable than massive amounts of riches, including silver and gold. To be a person of integrity, which results in maintaining a good name, is more desirable. To be esteemed as a good person is considered even better than silver or gold. Wealth of any kind is so fleeting, and its value is so temporal. One aspect of creating a living legacy is to live in such a manner so when others think of you as a person; they don’t think of your financial treasures but your wealth as an individual that they hold you in high esteem because of your good name.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+6%3A17-19andversion=NLT (1 Timothy 6:17-19)
Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.
As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
