Begin Now, Today – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is 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 our trek to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! Today is Day 1612 of our Trek, and it’s time for another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. 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 Louis L’Amour, and it is: Your life always restarts today. Every morning is a beginning, a fresh start, and you needn’t be hog-tied to the past. Whatever went before, your life can begin now, today.
Begin Now, Today
I understand that the consequences of past decisions will impact your future, but it does not need to control your destiny. Every new day brings new opportunities to begin again. Why should you remain tied to your past when you have the choice and ability to untie the rope that binds you. A hog is one of the most challenging animals to tie up effectively because it is hard to hold onto, and their legs are short and taper smaller the closer to the hoof. If you have ever had the experience of tieing up a hog, you will better understand the quote for today on how secure a rope must be to keep the hog tied up. So it is with our past, if we allow it to be. There is one significant difference between you and the hog. You have a sharp knife to cut the rope and free yourself from the past, but you have to choose to use the knife. If you just lay the pigpen of your past, feeling sorry for yourself, thinking that there is no hope, then you will never be free. Each new day you have to make that choice. Will you cut the ties that bind and set yourself free, or will you be content to be where you are? At the beginning of each new day, give thanks to the God of all creation. Live renewed knowing that God’s mercies are also new every day. Free yourself from the shackles of the past.
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning
So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
