Give Away Your Riches – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on trek.com/wisdom-trek-podcast/day-1997">Day 1997 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 Richard Fairchild, and it is, "Andrew Carnegie, who amassed a fortune of over 400 million dollars, ended up giving 99.5% of it away. He said this about it, ‘The man who dies rich, dies disgraced.’"

Give Away Your Riches

Andrew Carnegie was a business tycoon whose fortune today would be worth 6.85 trillion dollars. He was undoubtedly one of the wealthiest persons of his day and would be the same today. Yet, even with all of his wealth, he understood that you can’t take it with you, and he gave nearly all of his wealth away. Most cities today still have a library that Andrew Carnegie initially funded. As Christ-followers, how we view possession, especially wealth, determines where our heart is. At best, we are to be stewards or caretakers of what God has given us the privilege to manage. We don’t own anything. The rich man nor the pauper take material resources with us when we die. Yes, we may pass on some of those resources to our family or worthy organizations, but we will no longer manage them. What we pass on in the way of character and integrity will determine our heritage for eternity. We can instruct and help others, which in turn will help others. This is the impact that we have on eternity. trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GIVE-AWAY-YOUR-RICHES-3-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300"> I Timothy 6:17-18 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 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.
