A Spiritual Secret – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps.  We are on Day 1848 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. 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 Amy Carmichael, and it is, "A spiritual secret is to learn contentment with the things God doesn’t explain to us."

A Spiritual Secret

There are many things in this life that we will never understand fully, but we cannot allow that to cause us discontentment. As an imager of God, we must have strong faith to be content even when we may not understand the reason for specific events or issues. We don’t and can’t understand everything God allows to pour through our lives, what we may consider good or bad. The key to a contented life is to be willing to accept God’s gifts to us even when we do not recognize them as gifts but trials. One of the most obvious marks of a spiritually mature person is the ability to remain at peace and content, even when the world around seems to be in chaos. A spiritually mature person recognizes that everything works for our good according to God’s will for us. The secret to being a mature imager of God is no secret at all. You must learn to be content, even when you don’t understand God’s plans for you.

Isaiah 55:8-9 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.  For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
