Welcome to Day 1910 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

Called to Greatness – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1910 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 Martin Luther King, Jr., and it is, “After one has discovered what he is called for, he should set out to do it with all of the power that he has in his system.”
Called To Greatness
Within the Christian realm, our purpose in life is referred to as our calling. This is mainly used in certain circles when referring to those who feel they have been called to full-time ministry. I view it differently. As Christ-followers we are called to be builders of God’s Kingdom on earth, regardless of what we do for a living. The occupation of all Christ-followers is to be kingdom builders.
What we do for a living allows us to build God’s kingdom. This could be a job that we may refer to as an occupation, as long as it is not illegal or immoral and does not violate the precepts found in God’s Word. We could be a pastor, a business person, someone tending to the family at home, or any trade that brings value to the lives of others. It is not as critical as what you do for a living, but are you building God’s kingdom in the world you are placed in.
Therefore, regardless of your earthly calling, do the very best you can and in such a manner that it brings glory to God. In doing so, you will also be a kingdom builder, which is our highest calling.
Ephesians 4:1-4Therefore, I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.
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.
