An Undivided Heart – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1993 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 J. C. Geikie, and it is, “An undivided heart, which worships God alone and trusts him as it should, is raised above all anxiety for earthly wants.”
An Undivided Heart
Much of our anxiety and frustration in life is caused by a divided heart and mind. We desire that which is short-term and fleeting as opposed to being willing to sacrifice for that which is better for us long-term. We don’t trust God enough to be patient and wait on Him for the best for us. Instead, we settle for what is just “good enough.”
Only when we become undivided in heart and mind and desire God’s will for us, trusting in Him above all else, will our anxieties fade, and will we be satisfied and fulfilled in Him. Let us trust in God, allowing our confidence to grow, then fear and anxiety will control us less and less. Be undivided in heart and mind.
If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
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.
