Becoming Poor – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on trek.com/wisdom-trek-podcast/day-1979">Day 1979 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 Zig Ziglar, and it is, “An easy way to become poor is to pretend you are rich.”

Becoming Poor

There are many ways to become poor. First, it could be that you did not have opportunities to earn a livable wage. Possibly there were opportunities, but you chose not to take advantage of them. You could have had a chronic illness that drained you of what resources you might otherwise have. Third, you may have been taken advantage of by unscrupulous people who stole your finances through some scheme. Finally, you may not have been wise with managing your money. More often than not, those who are perpetually poor are so because they pretend to be rich and spend money trying to look rich when they do not have the money. This causes an endless downward spiral where money flows out of your life much faster than it flows in. It would be best if you gained the wisdom in these situations to understand that managing money and other resources is based on how we spend it. God gives us many principles in His Word on wise financial management. If you are poor, start learning from the best financial book in all history, the Holy Bible. trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Becoming-Poor-1-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169"> Proverbs 28:20 The trustworthy person will get a rich reward, but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.  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.
