This is Day 692 of our trek, and it is time for a 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget. Today’s quote is from Chuck Sink who said, &#8220;Wisdom comes not from age and experience so much as it comes from grace.&#8221; Wisdom Comes From Grace All that we are or ever hope to be is provided by God. It is because of God’s grace to us that we are able to obtain it. As Acts 17:28 puts it, &#8220;For in him we live and move and exist.&#8221; The dictionary definition of grace is, &#8220;The free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.&#8221; When it comes to obtaining wisdom, while age and experience should help, it is not the basis for wisdom. God provides wisdom by His grace because it is unmerited, but in His Word he clearly teaches us how to add an ever increasing supply of wisdom. The entire chapter of Proverbs 2 lays out the instruction for wisdom. Verses 2-6 are the heart of those instructions: 2 Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. 3 Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. 4 Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-16069 aligncenter" src="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Wisdom-Comes-From-Grace-1-300x300.jpg" alt="Wisdom Comes From Grace 1" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Wisdom-Comes-From-Grace-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Wisdom-Comes-From-Grace-1-150x150.jpg 150w,...
