Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view. You look at life's difficulties and tests as God looks at them. You look at family life and child rearing as God looks at them. You interpret current events as God would interpret them. You see the truth even though all around you are deception and lies.

Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.

Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.

God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours; we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.

I want to preach till the last breath in my lungs runs out.

If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.

Lead with action and let the feelings follow.
