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.

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.
