Wisdom-Trek / Creating a LegacyWelcome to Day 1380 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomYour True North – Wisdom UnpluggedWisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1380 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of 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  J. I. Packer, and it is:  Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life, blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you.    


Your True NorthYou may have heard of the phrase when referring to a person or leader, that is his True North, and this is what it means.


True North is your orienting point, your fixed point in a spinning world - that helps you stay on track as a person or leader. It is derived from your most deeply held beliefs, values, and the principles you live or lead by. It is your internal compass, unique to you, representing who you are at your deepest level. Some may refer to it as your integrity. Your Worldview controls this True North. If you are a Christ-follower, then your True North must be defined by God’s Word. In our wisdom quote for today, J.I. Packer is correct.  If you do not study and apply God’s Word to your life, you will be like a compass that is broken where the needle just randomly swings one way and then another. You will end up stumbling and bumbling through life. It will be the same as being blind, or at least blindfolded. You ill have no real sense of direction or understanding of what is around you. Your decision-making ability will be significantly impaired. So follow your True North that is based on God’s Word.


Psalm 119:105 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+119:105&version=NLT;LEB)


Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
