True Character – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1771 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. 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 Ralph W. Sockman, and it is, "A man has no more character than he can command in a time of crisis."

True Character

It becomes very evident what a person's true character is when they go through challenging times, trials, and tribulations. All of us can be pleasant and of good nature when all is well with us, our families, work, and finances. The test is to impact even one of those areas of life, and then you start to see the veneer crumble to expose what is contained beneath it. When we are in the midst of a crisis, we begin to see our true selves. How do you act and react when the pressure is on and all is not well? Our lives must be built on the foundation of God’s Word, so when the storms come raging through our lives, we will stand firm. When we can command ourselves, with God’s strength and peace, during those storms, then our true character is revealed. Matthew 7:24-27 “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.  The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.  But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” 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 our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.
