God alone is perfectly and consistently just. We forget God remembers. We see an action God sees a motive. This qualifies Him as the best recordkeeper and judge.

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.

If we choose to be offended when we don't get our own way, Then we're going to live constantly on the edge of anger. But if we say to ourselves, A merry heart does good like a medicine, It'll make all the difference in the world.

We shouldn't deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.

People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.

Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.
